Who are the authorities with mass appeal these days?
 

A rather rhetorical question I can't seem to be able to answer..

Who are the authorities with mass apeal these days? Those who should inspire and lead?

Let's see a couple examples of people who really reach a lot of audience through mass media:

1) The president?

- he's good looking, educated and he's on tv a lot - he's a definitive authority

2) Phenomenal writers / thinkers?

- I don't know, no one reads these days

3) The most popular rapper / conqueror of MTV / with fake teeth and a "make 5 shitty records and go fuck your self" contract from his record company?

- I usually don't see much ideological or at least "above the average monkey" level content in their mass media appearance

4) A guy that jumps into a pile of shit on TV in the prime time?

- well yes, they're doing the right thing, they're exposing the worst in us

5) The heroes from some of these days super popular TV series / movies?

- who are usually totally politically correct, really good looking, successful characters - regularly inventing new artificial and very emotional problems, showcasing disturbing personal integrity disorder - well "fun" and politically correct don't always mix too well.

I don't know..

Who are the authorities these days?

The silly rappers are role models for many young people.

Oprah...

BTW moral and intellectual authorities were always more demanded in Europe than in the US...

now I don't see that many in Europe either..,

The only ones who need someone to inspire and lead are those with no inspiration who need to be lead.

Here's an idea, don't look to others to lead. Be your own person.

If you need a hero you are a worthless person.

Well, if you mean that there is more programs on TV and in media with documentaries about history and personalities, that no one watches, you're probably right.

I'm actually glad there was no cable TV when I was growing up, cause I would probably be a very unbalanced person if I would grow up watching POKEMON.

:winkwink:

Or as Muhammad Ali said:

"A man has to be his own best friend"

I actually respect Ali a lot, too bad he can't hold speeches these days, not a super intellectually gifted guy, but a great spirit, a winner and a natural phenomenon.
