Ha! Nuts.

I have been thinking about going back (away from this tech stuff). Now there is a reason!

If I teared up while watching this, was it from subliminal pulsations or the actual content? Probably both!😩😢👀🌀 Spending time outside, looking at plants & animals, and planting bare feet on the grass/soil feels even more important, whenever possible.🌲☀️🐿Thanks for sharing, Mickey!

Time to reread, and pay attention to, what Jerry Mander was saying waaay back in 1977 and 1991.

I read Mander’s books way back when they came out. While I did not stop watching TV entirely, I will admit I got hooked on a couple TV showsthat embarrass me to own up to: Miami Vice and 24. I did know while watching I was getting played to think undercover narcs, the war on drugs and the CIA were cool. But I liked the actors, and MV was so cool people made sure to leave Friday happy hours in time to watch the show at home.:-) Not everyone had VCRs yet, and bars were mostly free of TVs.

24 coming so close on the heels of 9/11 did raise my eyebrows even back then. The timing was just so....convenient.

When I was kid 'they' said, "don't sit too close to the TV", you'll go blind". I'm guessing the magnetic, brain wave nonsense still needed to be engineered from "alien" technology, i.e. from crashed flying saucers in my state of New Mexico.(Roswell) Who knew? And really; who cares?, we're all going away soon anyway. Peace

Have you ever noticed how defensive people get when you tell them you don't own a TV, or you haven't seen any of their favorite Netflix shows?

It's very bizarre.
