The Y Factor

The Y Factor

a tv series that adapts "Mad Men" to the 21st century

The main characters: all men, aged between thirty and sixty, rich, famous and powerful. We only identify their age by the profile because they have already done facial interventions, they don't have wrinkles or facial expressions.

The secondary characters: all women :)

The plot: Big techs and Big banks are planning to run the world. 

First season, 5 episodes:

Episode 1 - "Designing the Future": The main characters meet in one of their big buildings to design the future for all humans. They wish to get richer, if that's possible, and even more powerful. 

Episode 2 - "Forever Young and Beautiful": The main characters also wish to stop aging or getting sick. They think they are special and entitled to have it all.

Episode 3 - "The Sky is the Limit": The main characters plan to travel to Mars.

Episode 4 - "How Easy it is to Fascinate Politicians": The main characters manage to convince politicians and governments to implement AI, robots and UBI. That's the easy part, they are simple creatures who like to please the successful people because they link "rich" to "success".

Episode 5: "After the Humans, the Superheroes": The main characters are in control. Humans are irrelevant now, they're useless. They only count as consumers of the cheap stuff sold in large pavilions where every day is "black friday".



So, this first season is just a glimpse of the future designed by mad men .)
Let's decode their agenda and prevent the destruction of the possibility of humans to build a better future for all humans, other species and the planet.

This episode of "Mad Men" shows us how we, women, could do it  :) 

"Those summers saved my life"

"Those summers saved my life": this line is very important in the film. 
The film is a Ridley Scott, A Good Year.

How many of us don't feel the same, saved by some moments of our distant childhood? A special relationship, a grandmother, a grandfather... for Jack it was uncle Henry.
Long conversations, laughter, empathy among the older and the very young.

The best treasures are hidden in our hearts. So, the choice is clear: "life" over "money". 

Greed paranoia

Greed for money. Greed for power. Greed paranoia.

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre is a John Huston. The film shows how easily men lose sanity when they are obsessed with gold, money, power.
It' s the same look of greed we see in the financial system and the political system. 
If we observe carefully when we listen to their speeches we identify certain facial expressions very similar to the faces of Bogart. :)
