Thank God I'm autistic: I changed my life for the better, that's an exercise of the mind.

The mind is used for doing things, you're right. Experience beats the flat darkness of sitting.

television is a satanic altar

Television is a hypnotic narcotic: visual stimulation which puts the mind into an alpha state which is relaxing and reassuring open to suggestion and ripe for propaganda...but it is ultimately meaningless, "When we watch t.v. we aren't thinking and if we are it isn't of any benefit because what we are watching is non-factual.." Very well put.

excellent explanation of society in my opinion - a society that knows how to collector things (thoughts, emotions, etc.). But when they turn off TV, still remains in the minds a noise and a large amount of information, which have no benefit other than the ability for conflict, and possibly a deeper state of agony. People often talk to themselves but they are not able to know themselves, they only know academic about the world that surrounds them, but the inner world,we will not to be bothered:)

tv's only message is : buy, feel "less than", buy, eat crap, buy, get sick, buy, fear, obey.

So wise and inspiring. I plan to read this guy's books, sooner rather than later.
