Freud was using the term “His Majesty the Baby” to address the sense of omnipotence each of us in childhood had to overcome to accept limits and laws (natural laws included) in order to become an adult.

It looks to me that these times have generated a generation of people who can’t deal with the limits and didn’t overcome the perception of omnipotence typical of childhood.

Therefore these people when they meet with laws that don’t fit their vision they change the law.

On the other hand, the power of advances in technology and media progress is giving them new tools to set a new reality according to their desires, they do not have the need to comply with reality any longer, they narrate their own reality.

This phenomenon has to be coupled with the fact that narrative is what the majority of people can deal with nowadays, having lost a logical-hypothetical capability. Why this, in my opinion?

According to Bruner the passage from the iconic representation of reality to the gathering and synthesis of data from reality exerting a scientific thought is the process to reach mature cognitive capability.

Movies in my opinion have accustomed the majority of people to stop this cognitive evolution at the point of iconic thought. The problem, therefore, is, first of all, that these “majesty the babies” came to power positions and they are now operating their own propaganda and their own agenda, and secondly, the majority lost the capability to exert scientific hypothetical logical cognitive process as through “Cinema” has been used to exert a narrative thought based on icons and not data.

The consequence is that whoever reaches a power position, strongly works to change meanings and concepts to fit reality to his/her narration nowadays is way advantaged as the soil

is fertile.
