What are some dark secrets in Hollywood?
Hollywood is full secret societies. Some are cult-like groups where members follow strict rules and rituals, while others are simply clubs for those who share common interests.
Some of the most powerful organizations in the industry are even more dangerous. These include companies like the MPAA ("Motion Picture Association of America"), which determines film ratings. The RIAA ("Recording Industry Association of America") sets music licensing fees.
Numerous unions/guilds also represent actors and directors as well as writers, producers, and so forth. Many of the major TV networks and movie studios are owned or controlled by large corporations.
It is obvious that, no matter how secretive or obtuse a group appears, someone knows exactly what they do. But we don't have to fear them.
Instead, we should embrace them. Because they provide us with information that helps us make better decisions.
These experts tell us which movies are most likely to succeed, which songs will be in demand, and what books will sell the best.
These help us to decide what we'll watch, read, listen, and buy.
We can trust their advice and we can ignore it if it contradicts our values.
And because we've chosen to ignore them, they become even more powerful. They become the ultimate arbiters of taste.
And if you don't like what they say, you're free to ignore them.
Let's now look at some lesser-known, but still very real Hollywood secret organizations.
And see why they're so important.
Is there a Hollywood blacklist.
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
However, the list isn’t public. As far as we know, the names aren't even known. But, here's why it matters.
The secretive nature of the information is due to the fact that actors and directors on blacklist won't be in a position to find work. They would go out of business which would mean that studios would lose their money. They would also cut back on their spending on movies. This would lead to fewer opportunities and less money for blacklisted directors. This could lead to them going bankrupt.
Which could ultimately result in more victims.
A contract may be required to agree to not speak against employers if someone attempts to make an Oscar winning movie. The same goes for any director or producer who wants to get nominated for an award.
This is why you'll hear about directors being pressured by producers to take scenes out of their films. Or directors threaten to walk out of projects that don’t match their vision.
This is why Hollywood keeps a blacklist. Negative comments about your employer will most likely lead to you being unemployed. It's not good for anyone.
There are many people who have been falsely accused. And they've had to fight to clear their name.
This kind of thing must stop before it can happen again. Everyone should have the right to speak freely.
So we need to take down the Hollywood blacklist.
How does your brain control your body's functions?
The brain sends messages to other organs and muscles to ensure they work together. Your brain controls all that happens in your body. It tells your stomach to digest food and your lungs to breathe air; it tells your arms and legs to move.
Your brain is made up of billions upon billions of nerve cells that are connected together in groups called neuronal groups. Neurons communicate by sending electrical signals, called action potentials, on axons. Each neuron has a cell membrane surrounding its nucleus. Channels within the membrane allow ions such potassium and sodium to enter and leave the cells. The electric charge that causes the neuron's fire is created by ion movement.
Neurotransmitters, which are chemicals that release neurotransmitters when a neuron fires up, can be found in the space between the neurons and the next one. Neurotransmitters can bind to receptors at the second neuron. They open ions channels, allowing ions to move in and outside of the channel. In turn, the second neuron also fires.
Neurotransmitter releases occur when a presynaptic neurons receives an input from another neuron. The impulse travels along the synaptic pathway that connects both neurons. The transmitter binds to the receptors on the postsynaptic neural cell, which triggers the firing of that neuron.
The nervous system relies on neurotransmitters for communication. They also coordinate activity between different brain parts.
