TV Burn : When Television Passes From A Tool To An Addiction

The Advantage Of The 1%

Successful People DON'T Watch TV.

TV is for the masses. The "lesser" human beings squirming under the weight at the bottom of the pyramid who desperately need distraction from their misery.

Slogan

"Television Is Junk-Food For Your Mind."

"Stop Distracting Your Mind With TV. You Are A Noble Human Being. You Deserve Better Than That."

"Don't Forget : One Of The Core Secrets Of Successful People Is They DO NOT Watch TV. You Deserve That Secret. Don't Watch TV."

Dr.Phlox (Enterprise) On TV (aka : Movies)

Crewman Elizabeth Cutler: They don't have movies where you come from, do they?
Dr. Phlox: Well, we had something similar a few hundred years ago, but they lost their appeal when people discovered their real lives were more interesting.

Are You "Addicted" To Television?

If you are, it's time to break the addiction.
Healthy human beings do not have addictions. Period.
Addiction, in any form, is unhealthy. Period.

TV : An Improperly Used Tool

TV is a tool that could have been used to empower or distract.
Sadly, in a world of hierarchy, dominance, and the desire to control others, tv is mostly used to distract.
The behavior of a savage, child-race.

Those "Celebrities"

A : "Do you watch tv?"
Celebrity : "Are you kidding? I have a life."
"TV is what the higher-ups pay me to feed the masses to keep them docile and stupid."
"I'm just lucky enough to know it and feed off the masses' stupidity so I can have a good life."

My Experience With TV...


TV distracted me from a life I couldn't bring to focus.

My life has passed me by in a tv, video game, haze.

It's pitiable. I pity myself. I wish I lived in a society which didn't create tools meant to distract one from life.

...I wish I lived in a world where human beings actually wanted to nurture and take care of each other, rather than deceive and cheat each other.

I think we are capable of much more.
And I think that TV could be used as a tool for empowerment, not distraction.

...someday...
