Media and what it makes
The worst thing is we expect people to be able to deal with insanely complex situations without any kind of education or intelligence. Instead we get to see people react like TV show characters that have been written by paid people trying to sensationalise, in a paid way, a version of human reactions to hardcore real life scenarios which, seemingly accurate and serving in place of any reality have come to supplant anything real and are now quid pro quo the way most humans do in fact react to and reason of life’s challenges. Worse that these living humans are not aware of this, aware that the way in which they are behaving is actually orchestrated and may or not be real, that fiction has become their actual subconscious reaction. Worse that because this is what they think and have learnt that there is no way of talking them out of it, convincing them otherwise, no way of getting in as it were because they are already convinced that what is real is based on commercial television and movies. Real simply because it is backed up by popular culture as in ‘look, it’s right there…what are you crazy? What is wrong with you for not getting this?’ etcetera. I am talking about the existence now of non-persons. Humans who are mainly constructed by pop culture, by the values, ideals, concepts, morality and behavioral cues taken from the produced media which has become so clever at pretending it is a mirror of reality that what has happened is that people believe it is a mirror and then adjust their self to fit the reflection.
