Dear All,
This weird topic of Hudson flight can be a good reason to follow the rabbit down the hole, applying the cruel logic of our exposing of the media fakery, which is a theory that takes no prisoners. Let us get back to basics.
If a man lies to you once and you find out, you call him a liar, and suspect everything he utters.
If you find altered/faked images in the media, you suspect all media images.
If you find the media lying to you once, you suspect the media lying to you all the time.
This is not paranoia, this is how credibility works among humans.
Let me quote my humble self:
So, what is the media doing?
7. Projecting images of a non-existent "reality" only, altered and faked images, in order to provoke thought patterns in the viewers, provoke emotions and opinions in the viewers, and incite mass reactions.
The question does not stop at if images are real, or altered, or totally faked.
The question, following our cruel fakery logic, goes on even if all images are real. And because real and altered and faked images added together does not result in reality, the existence of real images does not mean that the impresson you get on the world from TV has anything to do with reality.
People treat what they see on TV as if they saw it live with their own eyes, as if they heard it with their own ears.
It is clear, that if the images are faked or altered, they are watching and believing something that does not exist, or exist totally differently from what they see.
But, what is the case when they are viewing not faked and not altered images in the media? In that case, people treat what they see on TV as if they saw it live with their own eyes etc... Well, in that case what they see is real... but they are not viewing really with their own eyes. They are viewing what other people, strangers, showing them. If a total stranger walked in your room and started talking about things and showing you pictures , you may wonder who the fuck he is, why is he saying what he is saying and showing the pictures he is showing, and what the fuck does he want from you, no? And whatever he says, you do not accept without having answers to these questions, no? This is not paranoia, this is how human credibility works.
So when images in the media are real, you can not lay back and accept everything at face value.
Even if all images are real, you have to ask three questions:
1. Who the fuck are those strangers who are showing me these images?
2. Why are they showing these images?
3. What do they want from me by showing these images?In the hypotetical instance that all images of the Hudson flight were real-I know they are not, just imagine if they were-we could not relax. These three questions still would remain.
And please point out to me if you find any fault in my logic. Thanks in advance!
