Having in the previous post accused American culture of being, basically, worthless, please permit a couple of quick examples, just two examples, both ongoing now, both highly indicative of the purposeful lowering of American culture.
For one, every day new planets are being discovered, some of them very earthlike, and it seems obvious that in the near future an incredible number of new planets will be discovered, because of new telescopes, and we will be able to get a lot of information about these new planets, including, whether there is intelligent ife on them.
This is exciting. This is incredibly exciting, incredibly important, astounding....how many adjectives are needed...and yet, how much are you hearing about it, on a day to day basis? Very little. Instead, what do we hear about? Jennifer Anniston's love life, Whitney Houston's mysterious death, celebrity this, celebrity that, endless shocking, violent, sensational drivel, designed to shock, seduce, and entertain us.
Rest assured that soon the mainstream American "news" media will come out with a shocking, drug related, emotional laden, expose and explanation of Whitney's tragic death....and will talk about it, and keep talking about it..and....well, you get the picture.
WE ingore fundamental discoveries about the universe and our place in it, we dwell endlessly on celebrity drama, romance, and death, in our shallow vicarious escape culture. The planetary discoveries are real, important, incredibly naturally dramatic....but we ingore them, in favor of petty shallow pre fabricated human drama that our corporate masters feed to us like the contented little sheep that we are, or, at least, seem to be..but, actually, we're not..we're more than sheep..we can change this culture..
We can force the corporations to get their profits by educating us, instead of mesmerizing us..
