The Journalism Ministry
determines what is “news”
In a free enterprise
system, the news agencies compete with one another to attract as many
people as possible. This results in news reports that are designed to
titillate
us rather than educate us.
To improve this situation, the Journalism Ministry is required to
ignore what the public wants and design news to be beneficial. The
Journalism Ministry is in the role of a father who is trying to educate his
children, as opposed to free enterprise businesses that are trying to
exploit people.
Since live television reports are prohibited, the news reports must be
designed to be posted on the Internet, and to make it easy for
software to give reports about it. This will allow people to get
reports whenever they want to, anywhere they are in the city, and at
any time, as in the image below.
The Journalism Ministry is
responsible for producing all of the news reports, and all of the
journalists work
for this ministry. The journalists are judged by the Journalism
Minister, and he must judge the journalists
according to how they are affecting the lives and attitudes of people,
not according to the popularity of their documents and videos.
The Journalism Minister is selected by the President of the Health
Division,
so if the Health President selects an honest
and responsible Journalism Minister, then all of the journalists will
compete to produce
the most beneficial and honest news reports.
Investigative
journalists
are scientists, not entertainers
In a free enterprise
system, anybody who can make money selling information can describe
himself as a "journalist", regardless of the value or honesty of his
information. A person does not have to qualify to be a journalist, or
meet any standards, or be held accountable for the effect he has on
people.
In order to improve upon the situation, the Journalism Ministry must
have at least two categories for journalists; specifically:
1) |
|
Reporters.
These are people with a better-than-average ability to express
thoughts. As in the world today, they describe what is going on around
us, rather than give us analyses of what is happening. For example,
they will provide reports about city festivals, the closure of a
restaurant for repairs, or a description of a new model of cell phone.
|
|
|
|
2)
|
|
Journalists.
The journalists are zoologists who are studying the city and its
people. They investigate
situations and provide analyses
of them.
Examples of their investigations are: How the people are
interacting with each other; what sort of problems the citizens are
having;
whether some of the recreational facilities are unused or overcrowded;
whether a particular minister is showing signs of incompetence; and
how to improve the swimming areas, the
plazas, the holiday celebrations, and the work environments.
They
should be the type of reports that a zoologist would provide when he is
studying a group of prairie dogs.
|
For the sake of simplicity, most of the time this document will use the
word "journalists" to refer to both journalists and reporters.
Most people do not want analyses
The journalists will
produce reports that are very serious and informative, rather than
entertaining, and that will result in some
reports that have remarks that are critical of people, customs, or some
aspect of the city.
It is likely that some people will occasionally become upset with some
of their analyses, and all of us will have so little interest in some
of their analyses
that we ignore them, but the Journalism Ministry cannot care. They
are not trying to create popular analyses.
We prefer entertainment rather than education, so most people ignore
all of the useful
information that is available to us on the Internet. We learn something
only when we are under pressure to do so. This is most
obvious when we are in school. Specifically, most students do the
minimum amount of learning and thinking that is necessary.
Most people believe that they enjoy
being informed about what is going on in the world, but in reality they
only want news reports that makes them feel good. They are not truly
interested in learning about the world. They become especially upset
with news reports that are critical of their opinions.
It would be idiotic for scientists to write their scientific reports in
a manner that appeals to the majority of people, and it is just as
idiotic for journalists to provide analyses that appeal to the majority
of people.
It is possible that most people will ignore the investigative news
reports, but they don't need them, so it doesn't matter if they ignore
them.
Death must be treated seriously
Our emotions are stimulated
by suffering, death, dead bodies, and skeletons. The free enterprise
systems allow businesses to exploit our emotions by stimulating us with
fake suffering and deaths, such as in horror movies, Halloween props,
and children stories.
However, real suffering and real deaths upset us, and since we do not
like being upset, every society has reacted by censoring most photos
and video of real suffering and deaths. Every culture also regards a
death as a sad event. For example, when the police discover a dead
body, they must inform the relatives about it, and they tend to
describe that part of their job as the most difficult task of a police
officer.
Another example is that when a patient dies in a hospital, the hospital
employees have to inform them family members about it, and that is
difficult for them, also.
We have no trouble
discussing the phony deaths of
a Hollywood movie, so why do we have trouble telling somebody about
a real death?
Furthermore, when a patient dies, the narrator or hospital employee
will often describe the death as "he sadly passed away", or "he
tragically died". However, whether a death is "sad" depends upon our
attitude. For example, I do not consider the death of an elderly person
to be sad. Rather, I regard him as being a success at surviving the
dangers of life, and having genetic characteristics that allowed him to
survive so long. When I see an elderly person die, I hope that I can
live as long as he did, rather than die much earlier from a heart
attack, automobile accident, falling off of a ladder, or a stroke.
Most of the deaths at the hospitals are of elderly people, so I do not
consider those particular deaths to be sad or tragic. I regarded death
as sad only if it is
premature, such as
when a child
dies. We should expect
elderly people to die, rather than be surprised or hysterical. His
family
members should react by hoping that they inherited his genetic
characteristics for a long life.
There is no right or wrong culture, so there is nothing wrong with
treating phony deaths as entertainment and becoming hysterical about
real deaths. We simply have to make decisions about what we want our
culture to be, and we need to restrict reproduction to the people who
enjoy that culture.
Since we disagree on what to do, this Constitution requires the
ministers to make decisions according to what seems to provide the City
Elders with the most pleasant attitudes and the most satisfying life.
My suspicion is that we will have a more pleasant life when we
discourage people from treating phony deaths as entertainment, and when
we stop encouraging pouting, hysteria, and censorship of real deaths.
We should treat deaths as a part of life.
We must also treat cancer, heart attacks, and other medical problems as
a part of life, especially among the elderly. A doctor should be able
to inform a person that he has cancer without worrying that the person
will become hysterical, or start crying.
The people who react to information about medical problems or death
with hysteria or pouting are often referred to as
emotional, loving, or caring, but they should be described as behaving like an animal, and that
they are degrading the job of medical personnel and police officers.
I suspect that our lives will be more pleasant when we stop treating
fictional murders, tortures, rapes, chainsaw massacres, and serial
killers as family entertainment, and we stop treating real medical
problems and deaths as dangerous information that should be censored.
The Journalism Ministry should make serious and educational
documentaries about medical procedures, surgeries, autopsies,
childbirth, and other medical issues.
This requires changing Halloween to become more pleasant, and
prohibiting the fictional stories about murderers and rapes.
Although that gives the government the authority to censor our
customs and leisure activities, censorship is not necessarily bad.
Everybody wants to censor slander, for example, and everybody also
wants to censor art.
The fictional murderers could be described as a type of art that we
want censored because of its unpleasant effect on our lives.
No
awards are permitted
The US culture allows the
entertainment businesses to give themselves hundreds
of awards, such as
the Academy Awards and the Oscars. This constitution prohibits award
ceremonies. The reason is to stop
treating some people as
special. Everybody is regarded as a team member.
The people who excel at some activity inherited
their talent. Giving somebody praise for being talented is as
detrimental as giving him praise for having eyes with a particular
shade of brown or green.
Some of the talented people will respond that they deserve praise
because they became talented by putting a lot of their time and effort
into developing their talent, but they were willing and able to put
time and effort into it because they inherited
the desire and ability
to do so. It is their genetics
that made them talented.
The people who do not excel in anything are lacking in talent simply
because they did not inherit any particular talent, and/or they did not
inherit the desire to put effort into developing their talents. It is
not their fault that they are lacking in talent. It is their genetics.
This concept applies to all of our other characteristics. For example,
the people who become alcoholics have something inferior about their
genetics. Some of those alcoholics have the ability to overcome their
problem and quit alcohol, and the reason they can do that is because
they had the genetic ability to acknowledge that they have a problem
with alcohol, and they had the genetic ability to do something to
improve their life.
The alcoholics who cannot stop
drinking are so inferior in their
genetic characteristics that they either cannot acknowledge that they
have a problem, or they cannot control themselves enough to stop
the alcoholism.
Likewise, the obese people did not choose to be obese. Rather, they
have something inferior about their genetic characteristics. Some of
the obese people eventually figure out how to lose weight, and the
reason they can do that is because they are not as inferior as the
obese people who cannot lose weight.
It is detrimental to insult the obese people, the alcoholics, and the
people with no talent, just as it is idiotic to insult the people who
have freckles or who are left-handed. We must accept the unpleasant
fact that half the population is below-average in their genetic
characteristics. We must accept people for what they are, and
try to help everybody develop their talents to whatever extent they are
capable of.
We cannot fix the inferior people with lectures,
rehabilitation programs, or punishments. The only way to reduce
this problem is to restrict reproduction to the people in better
genetic health. Half the population will always be below-average, but
the difference between the best and worst people will be reduced,
thereby creating less of a problem.
Everybody is just a haphazard collection of genes, and it is
detrimental to our social environment to torment the
people who got a less desirable set. It is also detrimental to give
praise to the people with superior characteristics because that
encourages their arrogance. We will create a more pleasant
social
environment when we treat everybody as a
team member of equal status.
Nobody can be
glorified.
|
Everybody is prohibited from treating some people as special or as
inferior. The schools cannot treat the intelligent students as special,
or torment the stupid people.
Likewise, nobody can designate a sidewalk in the city to have stars inserted
for "special people",
and they cannot
arrange for social events in which they glorify themselves, such as the
Hollywood events in which a red carpet is laid on the ground for them
to walk on while photographers take their picture, and journalists
promote the event as "news".
This constitution prohibits all types of awards, such as the Hollywood
Walk of
Fame, the Academy Awards, and the Nobel Prizes.
News reports must be honest and
accurate
The only people allowed to
become journalists and officials in
the Journalism Ministry
are those that show an above-average ability to differentiate between deception and news.
An example of what is considered unacceptable
journalism are the news reports in December 2023 about a Tesla employee
who was injured by a robot in 2021. All of the news reports described
the incident in a very similar manner. For example, the DailyMail gave
their report the title:
Tesla robot
attacks an engineer at company's Texas factory during violent
malfunction - leaving 'trail of blood' and forcing workers to hit
emergency shutdown button.
The journalist wrote that:
The robot had pinned the man,
<...> before sinking its metal claws into the worker's back and
arm, leaving a 'trail of blood' along the factory surface.
The ScienceTimes was so impressed by the DailyMail article that they
put a link to it in their
article about the attack.
In this
television news report, the journalist wondered if the employee was
attacked because the robot wanted revenge
for his disabling of two nearby robots. She wonders if the robot:
...perhaps displayed its dislike for
the disabling of its android associates. One can only wonder what in
the world prompted this attack!
The
journalists tried to deceive us into visualizing a scenario like
the one above.
|
Some journalists and websites,
such as Drudge and BoredPanda, showed this photo of Tesla's
humanoid style robots to deliberately or inadvertently deceive us
into visualizing a humanoid robot attacking an employee.
Media companies from foreign nations were also providing this type of
deception. An example is this television
report from WION, an
English language news agency in India.
Those news reports are as deceptive
and unacceptable as a
journalist writing:
Food processor
attacks a mother as she was preparing a meal for her
children!
by John Doe, 2 Sep 2024
A food processor grabbed a mother's fingers before sinking its metal
blades deep into her flesh, leaving a trail of splattered blood on the
kitchen walls and ceiling. Perhaps the processor was displaying its
dislike
for her for the disabling of its electric friends. One can only wonder
what in
the world prompted this attack. |
The
Journalism Ministry is required to investigate journalists who
produce inaccurate or worthless news reports or other documents. They
must pass judgment on whether a journalist is making an honest
mistake, in which case they should consider firing the journalist and giving
somebody else a chance to become a journalist, or whether the
journalist is deliberately trying to deceive the audience.
If the Journalism Ministry determines that a journalist is deliberately
deceptive, they must post a request for an intellectual
trial of the journalist. The Courts Ministry must then investigate and
decide whether he is indeed behaving in a criminal manner, and if so,
he must be evicted.
The Courts Ministry
is required to maintain high standards for information, and
be intolerant of
people who try to manipulate us with false or deceptive
information. People who provide deceptive information are more
destructive than people who provide contaminated foods.
Only the Journalism
Ministry can
produce “news”
Every culture prohibits
citizens from describing their opinions as medical advice, legal
advice, and financial advice. Everybody is also prohibited from
describing himself as a doctor, policeman, dentist, and lawyer unless
we have qualified for those jobs. However, no society stops people from
claiming that their opinions are news, history, or the truth, and
everybody is free to describe himself as a myth buster, fact checker,
expert, learned scholar, truth seeker, investigator, and analyst.
For example, Henry Ajder boasts
that he is a " world-leading
expert on AI, deepfakes, and the generative revolution."
However, he is one of the people who is promoting the theory that AI
images of naked women are causing a lot of women to suffer. He is the
main author of this
PDF document written in 2020 that claims that " Approximately 104,852 women have
been targeted and had their personal “stripped” images shared publicly
as of the end of July 2020".
As discussed here,
women are not
suffering from those images. Henry Ajder is another example of people
who believe that they are super geniuses, but who are encouraging
hysteria of nudity and AI software, rather than providing us with
intelligent analyses of AI software, nudity, or our culture.
This Constitution changes that situation by setting high standards for
people who provide us with information. Nobody has the right to
describe himself as a World Leading Expert, Truth Seeker, Myth Buster,
or any similar title. If we are going to give people such titles, they
must qualify for it, and they must occasionally renew that title by
proving they still deserve it, just like people have to renew a
driver's license.
Everybody is held accountable
for
the information they provide, and the government can conduct
information trials
to determine whether information is acceptable.
The Journalist Ministry
hires people to be journalists, and those
journalists are the only people who are authorized to describe their
documents as "news". The citizens and organizations are allowed to post
their opinions
about events, but they cannot describe their documents as "news". The
citizens are prohibited
from giving themselves such titles as fact checkers, experts,
myth busters, and investigators.
The reason for these prohibitions is to prevent one of the problems
that is occurring in the democracies; specifically, criminals who claim
to be news reporters, journalists, or crime
investigators, but who produce deceptive news reports. Examples are the
documents about how the US
government destroyed the World Trade Center towers with miniature
hydrogen bombs, and interviews with "whistleblowers" who have seen an
alien from another solar system in a freezer at a military base.
This policy is bizarre for democracies, but it is common for most other
organizations. For example, businesses don't give their employees the
freedom to start their own company newsletter, write whatever they
please, and to refer to their opinions as "news".
Furthermore, businesses don't allow their employees to give themselves
whatever titles they please. For example, an employee who has the job
title of "engineer" cannot tell the other employees that he is the Fact
Checker or Crime Investigator for the business.
Citizens cannot promote
meetings as “educational”
The city provides lots of
lounges for people to get together for
discussions, and people are encouraged to get together to discuss their
opinions, but the citizens cannot describe any of their discussions as
"educational".
This is intended
to prevent dishonest, neurotic, and mentally ill citizens from
arranging meetings that claim to be
investigating global warming, white supremacy, or some other issue,
when in reality they are trying to manipulate
and deceive people about
those issues.
An example of a dishonest discussion of citizens is the TED
conferences. The people who arrange for those conferences promote only
certain information and people because their goal is to manipulate our
culture, not educate us.
There are also lots of think tanks, businesses, charities, and
religions arranging for dishonest discussions.
For example, the organization Axios
arranged for a meeting
in Washington DC in November 2023 to discuss AI software, but that
meeting was not
a discussion of AI software. Rather, the people who were chosen to
speak at the meeting were selected to promote the attitude that AI
software has potential dangers, and that we need to create "guardrails"
for it.
That meeting was not intended
to be a discussion
of AI software. Rather, it was an attempt to convince us that
"everybody knows" that AI is dangerous, and the only issue to discuss
is what sort of "guardrails" we need to protect ourselves.
That type of meeting is as deceptive as some Jews arranging a meeting
to discuss what type of "guardrails" we need to protect Jews from
Holocaust deniers, or a group of people arranging a meeting to discuss
the guardrails we need to protect the Earth from global warming.
Three men created Axios, but the Wikipedia
does not
have an entry for one of those men, Roy Schwartz, who is the president
of the company. Ray Schwartz
was born in Israel, so I suspect that Wikipedia is trying to hide his
connections to
Israel.
The Wikipedia is another example of a group of citizens claiming to be
educating the public, but who are in reality trying to manipulate and
deceive us. This constitution prohibits citizens from claiming that
their documents are encyclopedias, dictionaries, or other educational
materials.
Eric Schmidt was one of the speakers at the Axios meeting about AI
software, and afterwards
Axios posted this
document to let us know that Schmidt believes that AI could "endanger"
humanity within 5 to
10 years.
Why was Eric Schmidt given so much publicity by Axios? I suspect it is
because Eric Schmidt is one of the blackmailed puppets
of the Israeli crime network. Evidence for that accusation is that in
2019 the American Intelligence Media published this
audio and transcript in which an anonymous man interviews an anonymous
woman who "exposes" some of the embarrassing behavior of Eric Schmidt.
I think that interview is fraudulent, and that it was posted on the
Internet to intimidate Schmidt
because he was becoming rebellious. The woman that he got involved
with was probably an Israeli agent who was trying to set him up for
blackmail, or get information about him for Israel.
If my suspicions are correct, Axios and the American Intelligence Media
are members of an Israeli crime network that is blackmailing
influential
people and trying to manipulate the opinions of the public. That would
make them criminals, not news
reporters or
investigative journalists.
In a democracy, the voters are supposed to eliminate crime and
corruption by telling their submissive representatives how to manage
the nation, but the voters are too incompetent, irresponsible, selfish,
and ignorant to take care of the nation.
In order to improve upon the situation, this constitution prohibits the
citizens and organizations from claiming that they are providing
educational materials or meetings. The Journalism Minister has total
control
of all types of news and historical reports, and he cannot operate in
secrecy.
He is responsible for passing judgment on the news reports that the
journalists create, and the non-fiction material from citizens and
organizations. He can demand that the inaccuracies be corrected, and if
there is dispute over what should be done, he can request the Courts
Ministry to have an Intellectual
Trial.
Documentaries must
acknowledge genetics and evolution
No society has any
standards for the people who make documentaries, and this allows
religious fanatics, Freudian psychologist, and lunatics to create
documentaries that promote religion, popular legends, myths, and
idiotic concepts about animal and human behavior.
The Television Ministry is required to ensure that the documentaries
are scientifically correct. For example, the PBS documentaries tend to
make idiotic remarks about the animals that they are describing, such
as describing them as "their lives hang in the balance", or by pointing
out that "the babies are in constant danger from predators".
Their remarks are accurate, except that they apply to all living
creatures, not just the animals that they are describing the
documentary. Every animal is in a deadly battle for life. It is idiotic
for a documentary to describe one particular animal as facing dangers
when they all face dangers.
The narrators are dramatizing everything in order to titillate the
viewers, but the Television Ministry is required to design
documentaries to be serious, informative, accurate, and educational. If
the majority of people do not like the serious documentaries, that is
their problem. Instead of designing documentaries to appease the people
who have little or no interest in learning about the world, it is
better to restrict reproduction to the people who are more interested
in learning about the world. Then every generation will be more
interested in serious documentaries.
This attitude of titillating people with false or dramatized
information in order to entice them into learning about something is deceiving the
people. This was mentioned here in
regards to the manner in which some adults are trying to deceive
children into learning a skill. Instead of deceiving children into
desiring a skill or a particular job, the schools should be designed to
be honest and useful, and we should restrict
reproduction to the people who are more interested in learning a skill.
Then every generation will have a greater interest in learning a skill.
Television is distributed
through the Internet
When television was first
developed, it was necessary for the businesses to broadcast the
television programs through radio antennas, but today that technique is
a waste of resources and radio frequencies. Furthermore, the antennas
make the city look ugly, and the antennas on hilltops make the hills
look ugly.
Eventually the technology developed to distribute television through
cable networks, but today it's more practical to use the Internet. That
will allow the city to distribute television programs and the Internet
with only one cable.
Which television programs
should be live?
When television was first
developed, video recording and editing equipment was crude, so a lot of
the television shows were broadcast live, and the public had to
watch one of the shows that were being broadcast at the time they
wanted to watch television.
Today, however, it is more practical to create video files, put
them on the Internet, and allow people to watch whichever they want,
and whenever they want. There is no longer a need for live television.
If the Journalism or Television Ministry decides that some event should
be broadcast live, such as
information about an earthquake or tornado, it can be put on the
Internet live, as we do with a WebCam, and people can watch it on their
phone, computer, or a public video room, and eventually from the
monitors on the chest of a robot.
Videos should include the
date of the filming
The live news reports
should
identify the date of the video at the beginning of the video, or within
the video, as is typical for security camera video, so that we know
when it
was created. The reason is that some of those videos are likely to be
saved, and it is irritating and confusing to listen to a person talk
about "today" or "last week" and not knowing which day he is
referring to.
With YouTube videos, that is usually not a problem because the date of
the video is usually within a few days that it was posted, and the
posting date is identified.
This is also a problem with documentaries, such as the Time Team series
from Britain. The people in those documentaries often refer to some
previous archaeological event as being conducted "last year", or in
2007, but they never identify the date that they are recording that
part of the video. The reason is because most TV programs are created
to broadcast as soon as they have been completed, and the people
producing the programs don't consider the possibility that people might
want to watch the programs years or decades later. It is possible that
people centuries from now will want to watch some of our documentaries.
The copyright date is not necessarily the date that the video was
recorded because some documentaries contain video that was created over
a span of years. Furthermore, the copyright date usually doesn't show
until the end of the program, so if a person wants to know the
copyright date, he has to skip to the end of the video, search for the
copyright date, and then go back to the beginning.
In order to improve this situation, the Journalism and Television
Ministries can require people to identify the date of the recording at
the beginning of the video. If the program contains video from a
previous year, then that should be identified, also.
Videos must meet standards
The free enterprise systems
and the democracies allow individual citizens and organizations to
produce whatever video they please, and distribute it through the
Internet. Millions of videos are uploaded
to YouTube every day,
and there are other sites accepting videos.
However, the lack of standards is allowing the Zionist organizations,
pedophile
networks, charities, businesses, and citizens, including mentally ill
people, to produce videos that promote propaganda,
deception, and nonsense.
Furthermore, many
citizens post copies of television programs and other people's videos,
which makes searching for a video more time-consuming because the same
videos are
scattered throughout the search results.
The Journalism Ministry is responsible for setting standards for all of
the videos that are put on the Internet from citizens and
organizations.
The Journalism Ministry is required to prevent citizens from posting
copies of videos, and
they can request intellectual trials for the people that they suspect
of producing propaganda or deception.
Citizens will have less
desire to make videos
If people continue posting
videos on the Internet at the rate they are doing today, there will
eventually be a point at which the computers that hold the videos will
need more land and energy than we can provide.
This is another example of how a free enterprise system is impractical
today. Nobody can provide leadership to the free enterprise system.
Another example is that the people creating crypto currencies are
consuming enormous amounts of energy and computers, but there is no
benefit to society for what they are doing. They are wasting resources
and their labor on a worthless activity.
This constitution puts the government in control of the economy, and
their goal is to improve life for everybody, so they will be under
pressure to reduce the labor and resources involved with everything we
do, and they will be under pressure to ensure that our activities are
beneficial.
Three of the ways that the government will be able to reduce the desire
of people to create videos are:
1) |
|
A
lot of citizens are posting videos on the Internet because they are
trying to make money, but this
economic system does not have money, so that eliminates that reason for
making videos. |
|
|
|
2)
|
|
Many citizens produce videos because
they are lonely, and they are
trying to attract a friend or spouse, but the Social Division must
continuously experiment with a variety of leisure and social
activities, including courtship activities, to help people find friends
and activities. The lonely people have a much better chance of
finding friends at those social activities compared to making videos,
so the Television Ministry is authorized to prohibit people from making those
type of videos. |
|
|
|
3)
|
|
A lot of businesses
and other organizations are post videos on the Internet in order to promote
themselves or their products, but this Constitution prohibits
businesses from
advertising themselves, so that eliminates
the main reason that organizations produce videos. |
In a free enterprise system, businesses encourage people to purchase
WebCams, video editing software, and video cameras, and to post
videos on the Internet, because businesses have no concern for
whether the videos have any value, or whether we are wasting our time
producing or watching the videos. The businesses look for ways to exploit us.
However, the ministers are in competition to bring improvements to our
lives, so they are under pressure to find ways to reduce the worthless
activities and wasted resources and labor. Therefore, instead of
encouraging us to put videos on the Internet, or try to set a world
record, or try to win a beauty contest, or get a pet dog, they will
analyze what we do and the reasons we do it, and try to find ways of
improving our lives and activities. They will observe us in the same
manner that a farmer observes his pigs and chickens, or that the
manager of a zoo is observing the animals, and they will try to improve
our lives.
We need to investigate
Internet music videos
The videos that are watched
the most often are the music videos, but in a free enterprise system,
there is no concern for who is
watching those videos, whether they benefit
from them, or whether they are only listening
to the music.
The Television and Journalism Ministries must investigate and
experiment with the concept of music videos. For example:
•
|
|
If the people
accessing a particular music video are only listening to
the music, then it would be better to create an audio file of the
music in order to reduce computer storage and Internet bandwidth. |
|
|
|
•
|
|
The music videos
for children are extremely popular, but do children
benefit from sitting alone in front of a phone or computer and watching
music videos?
Or would children have a better life if they spent their
leisure time
at the recreational facilities for children?
For example, the children could get together to arrange for robot
musicians to play music, and they could listen to the music, or sing
with the robots.
That would give them an activity that they can do with other children,
or their mother. In addition it gets them into the habit of working
with robots and computer software. |
The Leisure and Social Clubs Ministries must experiment with
activities, and it is conceivable that provide people with so many
activities that nobody wants to sit at home alone to watch a music
video on their phone or computer. The adults might also prefer to get
together in one of the social facilities to listen to music or watch
music videos with their friends or family members.
In a free enterprise system, the organizations and citizens try to
exploit us for profit, but when we are living in a city in which the
government officials and the citizens are competing to bring
improvements to our culture, we are certain to discover that the
leisure activities that are popular today are enjoyable only because we
don't have any better alternatives yet.
Once we begin competing to improve our culture, we are certain to
discover that there are lots of more pleasant ways to spend our life
compared to playing games on a cell phone, solving crossword puzzles,
practicing the game of golf, and taking a walk with a pet dog. The
future generations will have a completely different set of leisure
activities, holiday celebrations, and social affairs.
When should television programs
be available?
The free enterprise system
gives everybody 24-hour access to television and Internet videos, but
the Journalism Ministry has the authority to determine when television
and Internet videos are available. This allows the ministry to conduct
such experiments as restricting television programs and Internet videos
for children to certain hours of the day, or only certain hours during
the weekends. That type of restriction allows the ministry to put
pressure on children to find something to do during the day besides
watching videos.
The Journalism Ministry can also put restrictions on what the adults
have access to. For example, since almost everybody would be working
during the daytime, there would be no need to provide access to videos
during the day. Therefore, the Journalism Ministry could disable the
videos during the daytime, and provide access to them only during the
evenings and weekends. In such a case, if somebody tried to access an
Internet video during the daytime, he would get an error message.
By giving computers the ability to identify a person, the Journalism
Ministry could allow people who work the night shift to have access to
television during the daytime.
By identifying the person, the computer would also know what job he
has, or training courses he is going through, and the computer could
let him see educational videos that were appropriate for his job or
education.
How long should Internet
videos be saved?
As of 2024, the Internet
videos require a tremendous amount of electricity, labor, and other
resources to store and distribute. How many of those videos are worth
saving for the future generations? After several centuries, there will
be a phenomenal number of those videos. Will people in the future
eventually come to the conclusion that the majority are worthless burdens, and discard them?
The Journalism Ministry has to make a decision about which videos to
save for the future, and how long to save them.
