Monogamy not survive in the next thirty five years to disappear from society as an ideal. The concept is nothing more than a useful social convention that has rarely been observed in practice. So says the writer Jacques Attali published in the thirty-fifth anniversary special edition of Foreign Policy.
This, with which every day is building the future (what I'm doing discovery, today I feel like Boorstin says "discoverer"), is full of small revolutions no longer dream to be fought on barricades cobblestone street, but in the minds and consciences of human beings. The Third World War, which for some began a September 11, is not immune to a specific territory (some orderly starting a blitzkrieg on the first day fiscal year to fill neighboring states, for example) or by oil or water as they had anticipated some futurists (now obliged to pour a new future), the new great war is fought to occupy the consciousness, mind and belief of men human's conception of the world and celestial deities and pedestrians. The new war is a struggle for influence in the minds of most human beings. It is no coincidence that the greatest world power is itself the largest producer of content, icons, the "pundits" of "cultures" of scientists, experts in mass manipulation of Nobel prizes, the creators of movies, albums. How was that defeated the former Soviet Union and sought to succeed in the struggle for global dominance if your film production, recording, iconography was so bad, so-sin in mass culture-boring with the exception of Che Guevara, an icon where you look round. Still, Soviet theorists understood better than anyone the critical success factor in their struggle for hegemony: the need to win the battle of the minds of Westerners influenced by the increasingly relevant "mass culture", without But in general, were unable to reconcile the constraints imposed on personal freedom with the human creation of content for mass consumption drinking of those minds that were the target of their struggle for dominance. Yes, there was a centralized effort of the leaders of the Soviet state, even as a deep knowledge of the importance of this requirement gained support for their cause of hundreds of "compromised" creators of ideas and content. Once
hegemony is achieved a way of ensuring the continued dominance of their ideas are challenging the established order. Even with a preemptive strike prevalent ideas in the minds of the majority must constantly receive new stimuli and challenges that call into question, to make them change, modify, evolve according to, yes, the thread that runs from the dominant power. Foreign Policy magazine http://www.foreignpolicy.com/ used the occasion of his birthday to ask several experts on how to change their forecasts in the next thirty-five years the concepts of good and evil, beauty and horrible, acceptable and unacceptable.
In this special edition, the writer Jacques Attali dares to give his prediction for the future of relations between men and women. For him, monogamy will not survive in the coming years to disappear from society as an ideal. Abolished monogamy will not return to society polygamy, but stipulate a radically different conception of sentimental and romantic relationships, says Attali. The companies soon accepted as being valid relations with various partners who in turn will have with others. Does not contemplate the possibility that a person is formally allied with a group of people at once, mainly for economic reasons to maintain an orderly transmission of property, and that monogamy protects women against the excesses of men . Attali cites several trends to justify its challenge: the state intrusion into the lives of those disclosed in great detail the private lives with their truths Multiple lives and peers, the hypocrisy of society will be released more easily, increasing individual freedoms made possible changes in other areas previously unthinkable like gay marriage, the life expectancy getting higher make it harder to spend your life loving only one partner, the technological advances that continue to weaken the links between sexuality, love and reproduction. The abolition of monogamy will change all aspects of life, from financial issues, relationships with children and the state's role in relation to the family, all this change is already beginning to be visible behind Current hypocrisy reflected in books, movies, music, finally pontificates Attali.
The staff of "pundits" of opinion makers, icons continue to launch their ideas, is in the mind of the individual, and an increasingly more diverse, where ideas will fight its own battle to prevail, multiply like successful gene or disappear in the decidua trifle.
