poisonforthemasses:How TV Ruined Aspiration (by biosystemics)This video manages to miss its own point while brilliantly illustrating it. Said point is that we should just stop watching TV. I largely have. I can’t remember the last time I saw a TV commercial. But just a few minutes into this video I found myself thinking: “So, why doesn’t this guy STOP WATCHING AND SHUT UP?”My feeling is that if you’re still watching all the shit he’s talking about you’re pretty much a lost cause. It’s sort of like a drug user, alcoholic, smoker or person who eats unhealthy food. There’s really no excuse for any of those behaviors in today’s world of information-at-your-fingertips and if you’re doing them anyway, I don’t know what a few well-placed verbal jabs are going to do to get you to change your ways. Might just serve to reinforce said behaviors. Well, the video sure made me feel good about my own choices. Of course, it made me feel worse for humanity.
