I swear at the beginning of my life it felt like people were rational. And as I get older stupidity and ignorance has become the main stream. But it’s only on the glowing rock called tv. When I talk to people they think like I do. It’s obvious we’re in a propaganda war. People need to turn off the tv. It’s poison. It’s just like that movie where they wear the glasses. Once you see it you can’t unsee it. Once you know you know. You see it everywhere. You wonder why such dumb things are allowed to stand but once you realize it’s a war on your mind you get that it isn’t ignore it’s a malicious attack

They weren't.

And as I get older stupidity and ignorance has become the main stream.

They always were. The only difference is that you've become aware of the true nature of hominid existence and are on the path to becoming a human.

TV is by far the worst exponent because it can convey emotion far more than an article of words and still pictures. Emotion is what carries the message home to people. It's literally like a little Trojan horse implanted into the brain as a way to appeal to people and have them remember things. I don't watch TV for this reason but anytime I do pass one, the effects of it seem like it's multiplied by 10 or 20. My now unconditioned brain notices the subtleties that daily viewers simply won't see anymore: the way they use open and closed questions; talking over people and not allowing responses or having audiences or panelists round on anyone speaking against the agreed narrative; the use of children in distress for maximum emotional appeal; the way they place one unrelated news story with a following story in a way that makes you, the viewer, fill in the blanks and pair these things together, subconsciously, yourself. Everyone should abstain from regular viewing. People may just as well attached harnesses or dog leads to themselves and be led around all day because that's what's happening, only inside their skulls.

I asked my grandfather about what inventions he saw that changed things a lot and he said the television. I can’t do it justice the way he said it but he just talked about how heavy the propaganda got. It changed things in a big way in that regard
