Joker Politics



I'm crazy, and I don't pretend to be anything else.

—Calvin Klein


There is a bit of crazy in all of us~

The story of society and human phycology. Is a long one. Even politics researchers brief described it.
The idea of Thomas Hobbes that people are predisposed bad from birth or the idea of being more neutral according to Immanuel Kant and always have a reason to act.
 Films reflect our emotions, our ideologies and by that ourselves. They show who we really are; what we are not; and what we can become. Though there always use reason. A story to work needs a reason. Though reason can be pushed aback. Because we are humans and we have our reasons but we don’t think logical all the time; and probably never. We are guided by our emotions and our societal backgrounds.
We are freighted creature because deep inside under our evolved culture we still governed often by our basic emotions —though that’s why we are humans. We try to forget; we try to eloquent but in the end, we need to embrace. That is the ultimate human characteristic; embracing ourselves and others.

In our modern society we forget to be human and to understand our fears and vulnerabilities. That’s why films often are the window into our unconsciousness or consciousness thoughts.
Science fiction films, even though they have a fantastic-made up story, often are more realistic for the basic human ideology. Cause humans are more human-like when faced all too strange phenomenon to them. Humans enjoy that fantasy because it offers the possibility; a though—game if you will on how they could be humans in that situation.
(That is bias also of mine because I really enjoy science fiction that’s why I talk about them in a film that is more fantasy-comic based but still truly realistic).
We need in the end to accept what we are capable of. As one of our modern philosopher Jordan Peterson often says — paraphrasing a bit—  “we need to go to our dark side and see what we really capable of doing if we are pushed; then only we truly learn ourselves”.
Films that don’t shy from that is the reason that the art of filmography exists —to learn something for ourselves. Whatever dark-side we have, we need to exposed it, we need to see what we are capable off, in order to understand why we don’t want to act that way and why and set our societal boundaries and rules.

Joker is a movie that makes us think. The massive news coverage about its negative effects doesn’t exist. Media often show a part of a story and not all the stories. Because they are also good stories. Joker should be regarded as a video-essay for human psychology and how we really need to rethink our attitudes and societal behavior towards who is different. We still have a lot to learn and improve; and that happens if we don’t shy from them. Thinking that by not talking about them would not solve them.
A better article would be about expanding in its ideas that it tried to showed.  That would a quality new article.

Brand your Self

Our era has evolved into new forms. The occlusive "three-phases" working model has changed. The future lies in change. Flexibility, exploration and youthfullness are some of the words that signify the modern age. At a time when traditional working stages have been reduced as a result of the increase in life expectancy. [Dear Reader] If you are now at the year of 2019 in the beginning of your twenties, you might have to consider that you have 80+ years ahead of you. More than any other generation! You will live 100 years; according to the scientific data.  Questions such as what job to do, what to do, what my skills, how to use them, how to travel, are all reasonable. Because your decisions are more crucial than any other generation and that's why you examine about them in depth. I am not writing this to worry anyone but to highlight the range of choices of today's young people. Young people who used to be considered adults. Interaction in new work environments ...

Tobacco Politics

The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting. ― Sun Tzu, The Art of War In any business there is politics. And one of the older ones is tobacco. The new manufactured products named e-cigarettes, e-cigs or simply vapes are getting the latest headline of recent health cases across USA. Fifteen deaths and more than one thousand illness are attributed to the vaping habit. The USA politicians, congressmen and policy makers are getting more and more seemigly worried for the widespread epidemic. Even Trump from his personal account in twitter has called for a ban for the product . The FDA (Food & Drug Administration in USA) had issue a warning ban if they don’t follow the new regulations and a plan to safeguard from underage use. Juul is the largest company on the e-cigarette market, having a net worth of over 38 billion of dollars after the 35% stake acquisition from Altria. Whereas Altria is the parent company of Philip Morris the owner tobacco ...

A Spaceman

A Spaceman....the discovery of a human~ The Exploration of Space. The exploration phase. The New Wild West. Where man has no place. Where it becomes more true… in the light of the moon. What we dont know we want to understand. Perhaps this is why the unknown attracts us so much. It is clearly seen in recent films such as Ad Astra, Mars, Gravity, Blade Runner but also older ones like Blade Runner, Horizon, Space Odyssey and more. I find this category of films to be the most creative for the modern man. Here he tries to reach the unknown, to perceive it. Here he can better approach his existence, his subconscious, his fears and hopes. There may be criticism that we forget what we have next to us. Looking for another world we forget this one. Space exists but there is also the earth. But maybe that's why we look at the stars. To better understand the soil we stand, the air we breathe. To understand ourselves and our existence.
