I read a book called "The Art of Hunger". I don't remember much of its content, but even just the title of the book came to my mind a lot. One thing I remember is the meeting of some of the sentences in the book with the ones that came to my mind, having a nice conversation and mingling. Regardless of the book, I think about the society we live in. In other words, everyone naturally thinks about the society they live in. As a thinking being, man always thinks. There is no problem in thinking, there is a problem in how we think, in the factors that affect our thinking and in society. We can summarize the issue with the following question sentence, “Do we really think, or are our thoughts being manipulated?”
 
The management of our thoughts, with its modern name, perception management is now at the center of our lives. In fact, perception management has developed so much that; It continues to function instantaneously with artificial intelligence tools. There are no long plans, no deep strategies, no waste of time. Now they control our brains momentarily, or rather direct them. For example, when you turn on your internet two minutes after chatting with your friends about a certain brand and surf the digital waves, the advertisements of the brand you just talked to appear in front of you. As a society that is constantly listened to, followed, and whose perceptions are managed, we are consuming our breath. This is how things are now. It is such freedom, freedom, basic human rights and so on. So it's actually over, it's on paper, in politicians' language, in law books and stuff.
 
Now, let's come to the art of hunger... There are long sentences that start with "for something to become art". We don't need those words here. We have our own definition. There is no need for that recognition now. The subject will be fully understood through the example we will talk about. How? We are rapidly moving towards the stone age economically. The main agenda of an important part of the society is bills, raises, payments, loan debts, foreclosures, etc. There is also a happy and peaceful audience that adds to their earnings. It's like there's nothing between these two. How can it still be like this? How is it that these sentences can still be formed? How is it still possible to go on the same road? How is it that it is still thought to be better with the same methods and methods? This is art bro. It's a unique kind of art that you can't see anywhere else in the world. Phrases such as the art of hunger, "philosophy of hunger in the history of thought, thinkers of the hunger period, metaphors of hunger, hunger diaries, history of hunger, geography, scientific hunger" will be written by us in golden letters in world history. This success is our friends.
 
You do not have to change your preferences, no one can impose such a thing on you anyway, but you can at least adjust the people or institutions you support. You can point to some obvious facts, problems experienced, people suffering. You can at least raise a volume. You can make an appeal. We kiss the eyes of our brothers who do this and the hands of our elders with respect. God bless you and give wisdom to others.
