Lie to me

Children do not believe the parents, the parents do not believe the children - in general, as the cinematic Muller, ...

I used to think that this distrust is due to the fact that ... Yet we all go through a variety of misconceptions. And now I am more and more it seems that the general lack of confidence caused by the Russian is not that all lie.

For example, the journalist Oleg Kashin went to the Leningrad region, where he met with a mysterious academic Petrik (so who wants to filter the water for the entire Russian 15 trillion rubles of budget ), talked to him and published in the ... Where expressly so immediately, and wrote: I'm no expert in these matters, I do not understand anything in the filters, I do not know, I cheated Petrik or not, when showing how Coca -Cola into a clean water. That's what I've seen, and the conclusions do yourself.

And you know that after this began? .

On the cautious questions, what is the glorification of the wrestlers were told that the lack of condemnation is praise. And what an honest journalist was right and write Petrik - adventurer and charlatan. point.

And if he did not write, then, believe it in no way be.

This amazing episode finally formulated for me the reason for Russian distrust. I suddenly understood why Kashin accused of bias in a completely objective report.

Because the Russian reader does not want to draw conclusions very. He wants to be said: it 's white, but it 's black. The point here is not that the Russian reader too lazy to do your own conclusion.

No, he was not too lazy to do your own conclusion. He was afraid to do your own conclusion.

Because it is his own conclusion, and the responsibility for this conclusion would have to bear their own.

And if you wrote it here - is white, but it is now - a black, and the result will prove the contrary, no responsibility for it you can not bear. You can always say that I was deceived.

That is the Russian people do not trust, not because he lied, but because he does not want to believe. Russian people want to be deceived. Because it takes away the responsibility of. If a politician deceived, then blame the politician, not a voter who does not go to the polls and not vote with your head. If the TV is deceiving, it means that the TV is to blame, not the spectator, who too lazy to compare two or three sources of information. If Cashin writes that Petric - a charlatan, but he will not quack, it will be to blame for Kashin.

And if you still would be a charlatan, then blame those academics who have argued the opposite. In any case, to blame someone else but not me. I never done nothing wrong. Just me fooled.

Such is the philosophy of the modern Russian people.

On the one hand, such a world view greatly simplifies the management of the state. Because citizens would meekly follow everything that they say, and there is no danger that the number of self- making conclusions exceed the critical number does not exist.

On the other hand, the natural renewal of the power of people, ... And the number of people able to make independent decisions, rapidly decreases. Sometimes it seems that now these people in the Kremlin, the unit.

And the sad thing is that the Kremlin was not in it, it turns out, is guilty.

It was an answer to the question ... The answer to the question ...

Maxim Kononenko.
