It’s one of my firmest convictions that modern cultures would be radically different and better without the poison of media infusing itself into our imaginations for a majority of our waking hours.

I believe without electronic media of any kind – even mere radios – mankind would collectively see an entirely different reality by focusing on more tangible things right before our eyes.

We would perceive more real things. You name it.

Of people we would perceive more. We’d understand each other more. We’d care about each other more. Words, emotions, thoughts, actions, hopes, dreams and everything in between – even mere sighs or rolling of the eyes – would have higher significance in our minds. What a blessing!

Of nature we would perceive far more of sun, sky, land, trees, streams, so on and so forth, and these too would take on greater significance in our minds. The same would be so of our artificial environments, like cities and buildings and cars, in which we spend so much time.

Maybe cities wouldn’t be so ugly, for starters.

Maybe we would read books again – even deep books. Maybe we would talk about real things. Maybe we all would be much, much smarter.

Actually, we would be smarter!

Consequently, politics, economics, religion, philosophy and all other abstractions that form our thoughts we would derive from higher and nobler sources.

Indeed, I 100% believe culture would be far better if we were not so conditioned into believing half truths and downright absurdities that we’d never even utter without electronic media blasting into our minds – absurdities like men having babies.

Thus, it is also my opinion that the more our thoughts align with that which would create such a culture, the better our thoughts would be.

But, unfortunately, corrections must first come, and they won’t be fun.
