They devoutly believe that tales of affliction and mayhem and corruption
and tragedy are inherently more interesting than tales of triumph and
liberation and pleasure and ingenuity. Using the machinery of the media
and entertainment industries, they relentlessly propagate this covert
dogma. It's not sufficiently profound or well thought out to be called
nihilism. Pop nihilism is a more accurate term. The mass audience is the
victim of this inane ugliness, brainwashed by a multibillion-dollar
propaganda machine that in comparison makes Himmler's vaunted soul-
stealing apparatus look like a child's backyard puppet show.
quote from PRONOIA IS THE ANTIDOTE FOR PARANOIA
How about the celebrating the sublime, the splendor, the success? For every child who doesn't finish high school, or worse ends up in jail or violent death, hundreds succeed. More than survive, they thrive, change lives, improve the world, really do stand ready to be the shepherds of the future.
If even half of what we report is positive, glimmering, hopeful; then we begin to balance the world. We believe what we read in the papers, see on the TV reporting. Let us see all of it then. Fortunately, more and more reporting and video is made here where rather than being under the thumb of our advertisers, we are free.
