Here's a mock dialogue between the American movie superstar Tom Cruise (Minority Report) and President Donald Trump about Facebook hieratics symbolic of modern age commerce-culture.
====
CRUISE: Do you realize millions carry cell-phones equipped with cameras now?
TRUMP: Everyone's a photojournalist in the age of Facebook, Tom!
CRUISE: You're right, sir, which is why I'm thrilled there's a Scientology profile-page on Facebook.
TRUMP: Yes, many present profiles and even corporate information on Facebook.
CRUISE: Kids, adults, and even the elderly enjoy navigating on Facebook...
TRUMP: It's awesome, and it reminds me of when the Internet was first introduced!
CRUISE: There are multiple Hollywood films about 'the Net' (e.g., Johnny Mnemonic).
TRUMP: When human beings can connect easily, the species grows in imagination (and strength).
CRUISE: Yes, it's like we're all resonating pulsating magnifying super-creative ants!
TRUMP: Right. Plus, you can buy or trade virtually anything on the Internet now (eBay, Amazon, eTrade).
CRUISE: Soon the postal service will be obsolete...
TRUMP: We just have to be careful about an all-out media-infiltration calamity (e.g., hacker rendition of 9/11)!
CRUISE: Doesn't the NSA have a special cyber-division that investigates such vulnerability?
TRUMP: Indeed they do, and I believe the Hollywood film Enemy of the State pokes fun at it...
CRUISE: Cinema is only art, and artists like to exaggerate about transforming consciousness!
TRUMP: Maybe Syria and Iran can be negotiated with (despite Sunni-Shia differences) using Bloomberg TV.
