Preface to�the English edition


Glaring effulgence of�Donald Trump from the political Olymp does not change the fact that Vladimir Putin and his propaganda-machine today is now the main threat to�the all civilized world. The duty of�every intelligent man now is to�speak out against this machine, to�beat her to�death. This is the first theme of�the entire series.



But if this is a�war, if we face a�war machine�� how can we oppose�it? We can counter it with the latest and strongest methods of�data analysis�� of�information emitted, transmitted, distributed, perceived, understood.



At the beginning of�the second book, I�have used this image: the broadcast runs at a�certain frequency, and the receiver should tune to�that frequency.



Human communication always runs at certain frequencies�� levels. Only in�the human communication has precisely 8�available levels, numbered from 1�to�8. The first book describes it as a�theoretical model. Next books gave examples of�movies on all levels and with various combinations of�levels.



The second leading motif of�the series is as follows.

Russian speaking intelligent-and-educated Homo sapiens had not found yet a�place where they could unite all good people�� and keep out idiots and crooks.



The problem is not technical; it is about meanings and values. I�would really like to�create such a�platform�� with books�� and with a�discussion of�these books.



Just as cities are usually built near the water, and industrial enterprises�� near cheap sources of�energy, platforms for serious discussion of�serious issues should be located�� where? Next to�the new global producers of�meanings.



Today, the world�s best producers of�a�global sense are the American moviemakers. Analyzing the conflicts and problems embodied in�the American cinema over the past 30�years, I�launch new discussions.



This sets the semantic nature of�the place�� speaking in�the language of�my previous books�� the sixth and the eighth level of�communication and thinking. Sixth�� to�know how to�articulate their thoughts and justify them. Eighth�� to�know how to�take into account the interests and opinions of�as many potential interlocutors, opponents.



Philosophy�� from the time of�Socrates�� more often pretends to�be an environment of�free dialogue than it truly�is. I�assume that Socrates himself was fond of�free discussion, but Socrates of�Plato�s dialogues acts as a�skilled manipulator. Manipulation and free dialogue are incompatible.



By�the way, low culture of�dialogue has led the Western world to�the two shocking discoveries about itself: neither Trump nor Brexit have been predicted by�sociologists. Why? Because one half of�society were persistently ignoring the other half�� and only now the first half realizes that the other half exists�too.



So two goals�� the resistance to�evil and uniting the forces of�good in�the civilized (6�8) dialog�� converge�� and that makes me move on, publishing one book after another.




Children and Adults





The Little Prince,�2015





Synopsis


The little girl lives with her mother. They apply for a�prestigious school for the girl, but fail at interview.



Now Mother insists that girl must work all summer to�get ready for the next try. Mother declares hard schedule for the girl. But she goes to�work, and the girl accidentally happens to�visit an old neighbor, who tells her �tale of�the Little Prince.�



The old man lives alone, he has no friends or relatives, nobody in�all the world. One evening he is taken to�the hospital. Early in�the morning, the girl makes the mother to�visit the old�man.



Between these two events, she sleeps and has a�dream in�which she meets a�characters of�the tale, meet the Prince and help him to�return home.




Between tale and reality


The filmmakers took over a�difficult task: take a�classic literary tale of�Antoine de Saint-Exupery, written in�1943, and incorporate it into a�modern story of�life of�the little American girl.



This is a�very hard task. To�solve it they have to�sacrifice what I�call �self-consistency�. On this occasion, I�had a�few questions. On some of�them, I�thought, I�found answers, to�other�� no. These questions and these answers I�lay out them below.



First question. The girl was not enrolled at school after the first interview, but she was accepted without another interview later. How it could be? To�answer this question we need some knowledge of�American life.



As a�rule, children who live in�a�certain district are getting enrolled into this district�s school without taking exams. Children from outside the district cannot get into the school anyway. The case that a��nonresidents� have an opportunity to�get into this specific school through the interview is a�rare exception.



Therefore, plan B was about a�moving to�this specific district. Good district school is usually a�sign of�rich households� area. Hence, rent a�house is more expensive here. Mom�s salary is the only source of�family�s budget, Dad does not pay. To�keep within the budget, the mother decides to�move into the only house with relatively low rent. Rent is low because the house has a�bad reputation. And this is because of�old neighbor which is presumably�mad.
