Media Literacy in 2074

Oh boy, here I go, imagining dystopias again. Ray Bradbury would be proud.
Also, me making this video right now definitely has nothing to do with the way certain people are reacting to Dune Part Two, haha. Paul Atreides seems like a nice fellow.

As the resident Ancient Evil of this comment chains... a lot of what we consider "older art pieces" were considered trash when they were made... Mixed with how often, people just forget all the trash that existed at any time in history It is how the nostalgic version of eras never match up with historically accurate versions of eras. It happened many times in the past... and it will happen for the 20s as well... by which I am obviously referring to the 2120s =P

oh I know this phenomenon. I call it the Bolo effect. You essentially take some random data points from the past (like tank size in case of Bolo Universe) and draw a straight line to an arbitrary point in the future (the further the more ridiculous the idea you'll end up with) like 32,000 tonnes of tank with 3 turrets that shoot atomic blasts and can drive around at the cruising speed of 115 Kph or 500 Kph in a pinch.

[@adsoyad7271]

What??? Are you saying that trends follow sinusoidal rather than linear patterns? Ridiculous. Everyone knows that all the exact problems we face today - no more, no fewer - are just going to continue getting worse until they inevitably culminate in some kind of singularity, at which point the world will just end or something.

[@SupaKoopaTroopa64]

Me and my brother call it Bradburyan extrapolation, after how sci-fi author Ray Bradbury would extrapolate social and technological trends of his time much further into the future than one reasonably could with any accuracy. One notable example is how he envisioned the house of the future. During the early-mid 20th century, home appliances were an area of technology that was advancing rapidly. Bradbury saw a future where we have hundreds of miraculous and ultra-specific appliances in every home. Many of these had some way of tucking themselves away to avoid clutter (very reasonable), which leads one to believe that houses in the future must have some giant chamber, or very thick walls, full of unused robots and appliances.

[@robot3266]

[@holonaut]

Kinda funny but if anything the trend is going towards moral gray zones and realism in the sense that opponents just have their own experiences and motivations, that are more or less justified from their perspective. Go back to 20+ years and you'll have the good guys / evil guys narrative - LotR and Star Wars are prime examples of this. So my take would be, if we extrapolate this trend, in 2074 there is no such thing as good and evil in media anymore (unless it's intentionally archaic)

[@RafaelR-yy6qj]

There is now a push to art to be more moral and real difficult to some people differenciate the autor from the work. You know the classic sludge of being a bad influence on society.
