Knowledge and the culture of triviality
George Banna, Mira Al-Bitar:

We do not see what some see of the dominance of the culture of absolute triviality and trivial people on the global scene, nor do we see all dwarves as giants, all obscure people as famous, idiots as smart, and creative people as ignorant, nor do we see a real, serious change in the condition of humanity, We see that garbage has always existed, even the religion that represents it has existed for centuries, We see that religion and its dull, outdated concepts were the master of the situation until social communication came along, which removed the cover from the rot and allowed the dirty laundry of religion to be spread before people’s eyes and in public.
Triviality did not only worsen in the nineties, and it has nothing to do with the issue of the worker and the factory, meaning that the worker does not know the nature and necessity of what he is doing! But there is no doubt that triviality was able to seep in through methods that we do not see as sound in some worlds, such as the world of art, where, for example, the importance of legs emerged, On the other hand, the legs of Zainab bint Jahsh, 1440 years ago, forced Ibn Abdullah to commit sins, such as those actions that even the Bedouin environment considered reprehensible, The primitive Bedouin refused the marriage of the uncle to his daughter-in-law, i.e., his son’s wife, and Aisha confirmed that Ibn Abdullah falsified the orders of God that Gabriel carried to him in consideration of his whims, Social media exposed celebrities of ancient times and proved that they were homicidal vagabonds like Ibn al-Walid, If it were not for social media, we would not have known anything about the amputation of Malik bin Nuwayrah’s head by his officer “Dhirar” and then cooking soup on his head, and we would not have learned about many of the shameful events regarding Safiyya and Banu Qurayza, Now that we know the size of the compensation that Israel will demand regarding the theft of the money and lands of the Jews in the Arabian Peninsula, especially the money and lands of Khaybar, the size of the compensation that Israel will demand exceeds several hundred billion dollars, as the news says. We do not want to go on at length regarding getting to know the past and its dwarves and getting to know the dwarves of the present and the uproar around them, which has nominated many of them. The uproar is not fame, but sometimes defamation, and exposing corruption is not corruption, and the existence of climbers on the ladder of lies is not new, but the ease of discovering the ladders and discovering the climbers is new, and the credit here goes to the social network and information stores such as Google and Google-like.
I have divided the categories of the trivial into five categories, The first category is called the category of the broken , which means in short escaping by withdrawing without refusing, As an example of this, we mention what the Hezbollah ministers did in the Lebanese government, They withdrew from the session and did not explicitly reject the session’s decisions, There are many examples of behavior of this type, The second category includes the trivial by nature, who immediately believe what the system of triviality claims, such as those who believe in the economic employment achievements of the Golani government in the hundreds of billions of dollars without owning a single dollar of it, As for the third category, it is the type of fanatics who color black with white and consider the history of the nation of Ibn Abdullah to be pure glories, while that nation was nothing but savage Bedouin herds, which Ibn Khaldun correctly explained and analyzed nearly a thousand years ago, Then there is the category of the reckless or the foolish, who think that they are working for a certain system or concept, but in the end they work against it, such as the Minister of Justice Al-Jolani, who openly and frankly promised the necessity of exterminating what he called “the Nusayris”, despite the fact that there are no “Nusayris”, but rather Alawites, if his mind was not saturated with primitiveness, recklessness, ignorance, triviality and his unworthiness to carry out the task of a minister in a state, when he allowed himself to vomit what he said in a recorded tape published on this page, it is truly difficult to imagine a person with the rank of minister saying what he said without being afflicted with the syndrome of absurdity, decadence and triviality, the credit for knowing what he said regarding the necessity of exterminating the “Nusayris” goes to the network, which stripped him of his galabiya to stand naked in front of the people, If it were not for social media, we would not have been able to see that minister carrying out the death sentence on two women with bullets from his pistol and his hand to their heads years ago.
Social media has been able to invalidate the authenticity of the prophetic saying “If you are afflicted with sins, then cover yourselves”, by covering up under the turban and in the galabiya, nor covering your chin even if it reaches the knees, nor covering up with deceptive superficial religiosity and with fabrications, myths and lies like the Isra and Mi’raj tour that started from Al-Aqsa Mosque before the construction of Al-Aqsa Mosque, even the stardom that some have achieved through social media, that scoundrel, the current minister, who shot two women in the head on the side of the road did not achieve it, He is not only a criminal, but he is first and foremost insignificant.
In the introduction to the translation of Alain Dono’s book (The System of Triviality), he wrote, ” Social media have succeeded in shortening a long journey of intellectual exchange, speeches, and correspondence, These social media have been exploited by the trivial, turning some of them into celebrities and icons,” This is true!!!! However, the network has revealed the truth of an entire history and what happened in it, and has dropped the saying “the best nation.” Without the network, it would not have been possible to replace the phrase “the best nation” with the phrase “there is no good in this nation,” Whoever compares the negatives of the network with its positives, or its harms with its benefits, arrives at the proven result that its positives and benefits outweigh its negatives. In general, no human achievement is expected to be absolutely positive, The same science that produced the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs also produced many positives in all areas of life, for example, in the field of medicine and disease treatment!
We find it necessary to introduce the most important books that dealt with the subject of the culture of triviality, The most important book was the book by the Canadian academic, Allan Dono, which was published in 2015 and translated into Arabic in 2019, The book adopts a point of view that we do not see the validity of everything it contains!
