This time radically.
Remember, it was said that the advent of cinema did not kill theaters, and the advent of television did not kill cinemas. But now it looks like everything will be different.
Walt Disney has announced a business reorganization.
The company's priority will be to release films and series for streaming services, while content for "outdated platforms" - cinemas and TV - will fade into the background.
The Internet audience in developed countries already surpasses the TV audience. And in the undeveloped, even more so. I have seen villages in India where there is no television, but every second has a smartphone.
It used to be said that bank cards will not destroy cash. It was, but not now. There are only a few years left when we hold cash in our hands. Very soon, state cryptocurrencies will put an end to the thousand-year history of cash.
What else do we have to say goodbye to in the near future?
With capitalism that threatened the very existence of the planet and created catastrophic inequality.
With nation states that are unable to unite to solve global problems. They will be killed by national egoism, raised to the absolute.
With democracy, because there is none. Any reasonable person understands that it does not matter whom to choose, unelected banks, oligarchs and corporations will still be in charge.
What will remain in the bottom line in the foreseeable future?
Only hypocrisy. It is unshakable and limitless. Hypocrisy is everywhere. In economics, in politics, in medicine, in science, in society, in the family and of course in war. Any politician or public person can be caught in hypocrisy. But since everyone is a hypocrite, we pretend that he is not. It's easier for us.
International treaties, quotas, obligations, truces and alliances do not work. States, corporations, peoples and individuals display monstrous selfishness and hypocrisy. And this is the main epidemic that can destroy humanity. And not some Covid, who in essence is also selfish and hypocritical.
