Reportage Is a Rather Exclusive and Costly Way of Gathering Information at the Scene,
Popularized thanks to the account of the Crimean War in the mid-19th century. Western media, large editorial offices gradually announce that in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, they will broadcast only such reports that do not require a reporter to fly by plane. So the report will be subordinated to land and sea transport. With today's abundance of sources available through the Internet globally, this is not an "information" problem. We will continue to be "up to date" with the knowledge of everything. In the long run, in combination with the constant, slightly manic, European concern for the credibility and directness of what we treat as knowledge of the world, it is a significant caesura. In an even longer, crazy future, such as baroque, it is the exclusion of air from the control of conscious reason. Aer It was always a treacherous element, Christian fear just settled in it all the smaller and larger impure spirits pupating like clouds of smoke, in moments free from metaphysical mischief occupied with quiet giggles from the clumsiness of mortals. From the point of view of rational control of gas emissions in the era of sucking and taking knowledge directly from the clouds, flying makes no sense. The rumbling of imminent and technologically effective polarization and the division of one common "net" into smaller intranets with clear limits of range will somehow harmonize with the soprano laughter. Harmony of the World Will Survive No problem. Our ability to compensate for deficiencies in the environment is much greater, it will be simply fantastic.
