Preface

Since December 2016, Amazon.com sells two my books (both in two versions – in Russian and in English). I will refer to them as the first book (in Russian and in English) and the second book (in Russian and in English). The third book is now in front of you.

By this, I close a long period of my life, which began February 18, 1989, when I phoned to my wife and dictated to her the first draft of my super-theory. It’s time to raise eyes and look around. What goes on around?

Donald Trump became president-elect. Saakashvili resigned from his post as governor ofВ Odessa (Ukraine) and announced establishing ofВ aВ new political party. After which he was blocked at all Ukrainian TV channels. Apart from TV-show ofВ Savik Shuster, which, as far as IВ know, would not live long either.

The first book contains big chapter about politics, starring Trump, Saakashvili, and Putin. About Trump and Saakashvili IВ have said above. Now about Putin.

Putin and Putin’s propaganda machine is today the main threat to the all civilized world. This is a duty of every intelligent person today – to speak out against this machine, and to help to stop it.

But if it’s a war, if the war machine is against us – what can we contrapose to it? We need the latest and strongest methods of message analysis —

• of the information which is emitted, broadcasted, transferred, firstly, and

• of the information which is received, perceived, understood – secondly.

At the beginning ofВ the second book, IВ have used this image: the certain broadcast could be received at aВ certain frequency, and your receiver should tune toВ that frequency.

Human communication also goes at certain frequenciesВ = levels. IВ suggest thatВ human communication uses 8В levels and IВ call them byВ numbers from 1В toВ 8. The first book describes this as aВ theoretical model. The second one illustrates all levels with situations from my favorite films.

The second leading motif ofВ this book (and the series inВ general) is as follows.

Humanity needs one global framework du discuss serious things like values, love and war, family and childhood, and other serious things.

We need such meaningful framework that will filtrate good people in and bad people out. I mean a framework of values and meanings, not technical tools. And I would really like to create such a framework with my books. But the framework must be global – therefore it must work in English speaking world too.

Just as the good cities are built near origins of the drink water, and industrial enterprises – near cheap sources of energy, a platform for serious discussion of serious issues should be built -where?

Next toВ the global producer ofВ meanings.

Today, the world’s best producer of global meanings is the American cinema. Analyzing the conflicts and problems embodied in American movies (since 1990), I discuss many important things.

Speakin in terms of my precvious books, it sets levels of communication – the sixth and the eighth level. Sixth – you have to know how to articulate your opinions and ideas and how to prove them. Eighth – you have to take into account the interests and opinions of as many potential interlocutors and opponents as possible.

Philosophy – from the time of Socrates – often pretended to be a free dialogue environment, but actually it was not. I believe that Socrates himself was fond of free dialogue, but in Plato’s Socratic dialogues, character named Socrates acts as a skil
