Is modern "entertainment" torture to you?

Post Reply New Topic

some of the commercials [mostly local insert adverts] on "coast to coast" are simply intolerable.

TV exerts a deleterious effect on the intellect, secondary to its passive nature.
Find an individual filled with a passionate vibrant mind and they will be well read and rarely watch TV.
Try it.

On another note, I find TV commercials particularly feel like a psychological assault/attack against the sanctity of my mind and its senses.

During my work career, dealing with literally tens of thousand of people over three decades I was too tired to do anything but workout, play a video game, and vegetate in front of a T.V.; and then do the chores of home and wife maintenance on the weekends, and start the rat treadmill again, in an endless circle of stress and less and less recreative recovery.

Yeah, that almost ended in death.

LESSON LEARNED.

TV S***S, AS ANY activity that is MORE fully input and not interactively expressed output to grow a mind and body in balance STRONG INSTEAD OF UNFEELING, NON-ENGAGED, NOODLE, IN both affect and EFFECT.

I ENJOY theater, and DVD's with fuller emotion, and ethical meanings to analyze and FEEL, AS more effort is put into THAT TO SELL SOMETHING THAT MAKES HUMANS FEEL, AS that is what drives folks, moreover to the theater, of course with the sensory excitement of special effects that some folks thrive on stronger to come alive.

But truly the worst part of all, is anything that stunts human physical intelligence that drives emotional regulation, integration of senses, and cognitive executive functioning by way of focus and short term working memory; and anything that STILLS HUMAN BEING TO SITTING STILL, IS a true 'CANCER' for THAT along with real life chronic stress not resolved by burning stress chemicals off through movement eventually resulting in potential depression, illness, and even premature death.

TV should come with a warning..

TV can kill, over the long term, of sedentary life in A horrible imbalance of mind and body, WITH the REAL potential for a premature death.

But nah, 'too much common sense' in THAT mixed with the negating variable of COMMERCIAL profit.

And the human misery and suffering goes on, for those who do not even understand and practice more fully, what human nature is classically evolved to be.

And IT dam sure ain't sitting still (for most people, anyway) focusing on just one point of distance and space anywhere, whatever that entails for a human zoo or prison, come alive in an illusory hell of TV OR OTHER screen reality.

To me, it's much more fun interactively entertaining in real life, AS the Director, Producer AND ACTOR OF MY OWN DIRECTED, PRODUCED AND ACTED PLAY of LIFE!..

SPECTATOR IS NOT A LIFE FOR ME, as far as I see, for now!.

Entertainment have gone done hill ever since MD Geist was released in 1986 as that is the zenith of human creation. Thus, humanity has obtain perfect and has no need to go any further.

bring on the full-color full motion anti-judder 3d holographic video and 3D surround sound! I'd watch competitive basket-weaving and dog-walking if they had that in a holographic video.

^^ Darn straight!! !!

Also, bring on the holodeck.

Most reality shows now I can't stand. Most, such as American Idol and Survivor, have lost their appeal over time.

Ad-block (which is free) can be obtained from your search engine/browser to get rid of internet ads ( they work like a charm). I'm surprised no one on this forum has mentioned it by now.

Finally answering the poll I chose no discomfort - mainly because I'm not consuming any of it to begin with.

what I find sometimes hijacks my brain, are those radio commercial adverts where they use C.AS.H. [a DSP algorithm that speeds up speech without distorting it] to make everybody talk like that federal express guy.

It seems like TV networks are getting to the point where the commercial breaks are longer than the shows. It's bad enough that the commercials are louder than anything else now. I used to mute them when still I watched TV.

on the "coast to coast" radio program, the adverts are more numerous/longer than the program segments!
