Interesting example of Disney diplomacy: Bob Iger talks about how Saudi Arabia tried to convince him to build a theme park in the Middle East. the crown prince thought a local Disneyland would be good for his political goals pic.twitter.com/jayuzAuP2z

i want to read something about Disney as a postnational political entity
- influence on copyright law
- multigenerational nostalgia commodification
- gods that kids believe in
- billion dollar cultural exports that explicitly mythologize current events (eg Mysterio + fake news)

if we’re living in an East India Company moment where corporations are trying to become the new nation-states, what would it mean to be a “citizen” of Disney 🤔

now that “narrative economics” is the hot new thing in econ, maybe film criticism and economic analysis will slowly melt into each other 😂
if the econ establishment is trying to absorb/understand social psych + media theory + memetics, then Disney makes for a good case study pic.twitter.com/RflNI9TJe8

the logical conclusion of rational choice theory => technocratic management through monetary policy
the logical conclusion of narrative economics => cultural management through large scale story production, sort of like South Korea’s K-pop project pic.twitter.com/PhYSzg1Esu

if Disney is narrative authoritarianism, D&D is participatory democracy, and maybe Fortnite is something in between
