There is some more justice, or just some nice agreement, in the fact that on the same day Dobrica Ćosić became a Nobel laureate and Veselin Veljović a master's degree. In one dimension, those two events are equally true, but, on the other hand, Dobriča's Nobel, fortunately for Serbia, turned out to be a mockery, while, unfortunately for Montenegro, Veljović's scientific breakthrough, formally and legally, is not a mockery.
That is, in one dimension of reality, Veljović actually became a master. In all other dimensions of reality - it is also mockery. Admittedly, it is not easy to discern in such a disjointed and ramified reality - by the way, this elusive reality is one of the key poetic intrigues in the work of the most recent Nobel laureate, Tomas Transtremer.
But when reality is so elusive to him in his Sweden, imagine what he would have to do here in a noble attempt to grasp the logic of reality... Maybe he would switch from poetry to bombs, who knows?
Dialogue from the streets of Podgorica these days: "Did you hear that Veljović got his master's degree." "What, he had a traffic jam on the highway?" Quite simply - this first cop's crouch evokes the spirit and logic of jokes. Well, and more ambitious humorous creations. I must admit that in Veljović's scientific promotion there is something of the spirit of Nušić's comedies.
That is why the venerable Alcibiades is a truly great comedian. Some matrices from his pieces are still relevant today. Just not "Dr", but "Mr".
Again, when one looks at the composition of the committee that awarded Veljović the master's degree, some things become, at least retroactively, clearer. One can sense, if nothing else, whose back was rented to the dean, who will definitely be left with more anecdotes than scientific references.
"Absolutely excellent student" Veljović made a step of seven miles for the Montenegrin police. From now on, the police will harass people "on a scientific basis". At least as long as a master's degree is at the helm.
And just the topic. "The international recognition of the state..." Perhaps it would have been better if he had stayed in his field and obtained his master's degree in Bukovica. Then one could sing, celebratory, from the heart - Veljović, young master...
By the way, I was never clear about those who so proudly insist on the title "Mr". That, in basketball terms, is like having only the first step in a two-step. And what next? It always felt kind of unfinished to me. Come on "master Momir Bulatović", but you even have people in the art world who sign with the mandatory "mr". Although it is not clear to me what it means to a painter or a director.
The second is Veljović. Mr. Veljović, I apologize. To be honest, he always seemed inclined towards science. He must have had this love for science from his youth - when he had to deal with the army, the police and similar things. Someone collects napkins, someone collects badges, and Veljović has dreamed of Einstein since childhood. But not how he arrests him. Already the way they talk, friendly, like scientists.
It's a shame there were no questions from the audience. Imagine a dialogue like this - "What do you think about Lacan?", and the answer, as if from a cannon - "I have nothing to think, I arrested him twice." That is – quoted, sorry.” Or, the question: "How do you view Heidegger?" and a quick answer: “Exclusively through the scope”.
Of course, make no mistake - I'm happy with anyone's step forward in science. Only this is science just as much as Dobričin's Nobel Prize. If Veljović was really interested in science, he would have waited to get his master's degree when he finished his police career, which I guess he won't have to wait long. Well then, let him indulge in serious research, scientific, when these police ones were already out of his hands.
Now I remembered how this master of law explained in a show that there is no option in which he would arrest the boss. Well, that's a scientific reason, par excellence. Science is known for not questioning supreme authority. Einstein could delegitimize Newton, but Veljović will not Milo, rest assured. He is not Einstein.
It seems that this school of ours is a strength. But, I am sure, an exceptional scientific career awaits Veljović.
It - Scientist, do as ordered...
