I've been feeling this, the modern version, for the past few years. I had no idea people in the 80s felt the same except with radio and TV. It really puts things into perspective doesn't it? It's kind of insane. What else is it gonna be in 40 more years?
Yes, very well put. You are so right. I was just thinking in recent days how we never seem to get what we actually need, like universal health care, debt relief, jobs, the overhaul of policing in this country--yet the firehose of distraction is flowing full blast: 300 cable channels, football in a pandemic, TikTok, etc etc.
Brilliant!

So interesting how they made this in 1980. Oh my it is bad today. iPhones, internet…and soon the meta verse…
Its even worse today.
We were groomed for this distraction.
