(Captain Swing), by Will Storr, is an interesting and revealing book. It crumbles one of the most sexual aspects of power: narration. In the first human communities, the information was vital and served to order hierarchies. In the event that a rumor was to circulate that affected someone who had given the interests of the group to his own, “a wave of good feelings flooded the recipients of the narrative.” However, if that rumor pointed to someone Ruin and selfish, an emotion predominated that forced the group to punish the protagonist. In this way, the story, the story, the talent to execute it, was justice in those first populations.
The impressive thing is how little that has changed. Communication experts between birds discovered something wonderful years ago: “The crows are not only attentive to the gossip that the neighboring flocks count, but also pay more attention when the story of some bird that has lost status is told.” In the book, by the way, it is reported that the crickets carry a count of their victories and failures against rivals of the same species. A cricket that has won several fights tends to be more aggressive and confident in later confrontations. A cricket that repeatedly loses tends to avoid fights or is submissive to another. The story matters.
When Movistar a year ago, I was very curious. It was impossible for it to be a documentary to the use of those who are now roll by dozens with the approval (almost the demand) of the influencer twenty -year -old on duty. Luis Enrique’s relationship with the media was of frank tension, at times irritating. But already, as a coach, he had uncovered as streamerand it had done well. This time, however, it went further. He let the cameras enter the last corner of the locker room, where he begged Mbappé who, before a decisive Champions match, pressed with all his soul the exit of the rival’s ball (“the laps that life gives, fate makes fun of you,” Yosi sang).
He did something even more valuable: he allowed the painting to cover his family. What his wife and daughters suffer or enjoy every game, every cover of the French press, each eve of the delicate party. . The human factor, the type that outside work has a life that sometimes overlaps and sometimes passes in parallel to public life. Naturally (the branch of Barça de Xavi, the loneliness of living in a training field, the “you have no fucking idea” without irony to those who believe they have her football), not like when Sergio Ramos is recorded in his documentary having breakfast with Pilar Rubio and answers the questions of his wife as if they were in a press conference.
The perception of Agassi is different from Open Because he taught himself under the shower with the body destroyed after a final, and told us that he wore wigs by bald complex, and told us that his father was drugged as a child and was an animal without empathy when the boy lost. It is the courage to dare to tell a story that makes you reach everyone. , but what he showed, well and bad, was authentic. The authentic can wreak havoc in the first impressions, but in the long term it usually ensures relief that prefers to detach from the worst slavery of the ego: what others think of you.
