RE: Binder Of Demons, Binder Of Angels

in #philosophy6 years ago (edited)

I have limited my exposure to television. This has been a lifelong thing. I've never been one for movies either.

I'm not sure why, but growing up biblical figures meant a lot to me. So much so, they became rolemodels. My thought process naturally changes as new experiences come and go. But all of it...every circumstance helped me to better understand my rolemodels experiences and make them my own yet also my neighbors.

I really feel that television or entertainment permanently damages the psyche. The subconscious mind can never truly forget or misplace what it has witnessed. I suspect in many instances, this has heightened the responses from mob psychology in relation to social issues.

Good post, good food for thought.

Thanks for commenting. I too have noticed the influence that media has on us. I first noticed it with what I call the laugh track shows, that constantly inject laughter in the shows. I noticed much of the time, it wasn't even funny. I have watched as music portrayed women as beings to be thankful for into bitches and hoes, and watch as the younger generation adopted these ideas. The violence we see today as opposed to when I was young. We didn't have all these shootings taking place, and as kids we grew up with guns where I was. You would even see them in the back windows of pickup trucks at high school. None of these thought programs running today is progress in any imaginable way I can conceive.

I unplugged from cable over a year ago, as I see them injecting political thoughtspeak into every imaginable area. Always seeking to make us mad at one another, to ensure none of us believe a dialogue is possible.

I hold you in high esteem as you exhibit that rare ability to examine the substance of a matter and root out its origins and intent. Thanks for weighing in, and looking forward to your next post on laws.
