Spending excessive time in front of the television can expose you to numerous falsehoods. Should an alien race arrive from another planet and perceive television as truth, their understanding would be greatly misconstrued.
Let's have some fun with this thought....
If uninformed were to solely rely on certain news narratives, they might be led to believe extreme and unlikely scenarios about political figures. For instance, some portrayals might suggest that Donald Trump has intentions similar to Adolf Hitler towards those who do not support him, or that Joe Biden plans to confiscate firearms, destroy constitutional rights, and use military force against citizens. These are hyperbolic representations that are not based on factual actions or stated intentions.
The ignorant might also think that one needs a massive, fuel-guzzling SUV for commuting and a 5-bedroom, 6-bathroom house just to live comfortably. For the older aliens, if you retire without $1,000,000, you might find yourself struggling to make ends meet, potentially facing a diet of cat food and living in a dilapidated trailer.
The notion that a losing team in an athletic contest would face execution post-game is laughable to us, yet such narratives are constantly projected on media every hour. The dialogue is furious against the failing athletic team. The team's supporters wail and lament as though they were at a funeral. They smash their television sets in despair shouting profanities.
These strangers would assume that there is an infinite supply of paper currency for trade. They habitually purchase whatever they desire without any thought for the future. On special occasions, you might treat yourself and your delighted partner to lavish gifts without considering a budget or using funds that belong to the partner. They might try to jump their new car off a cliff and swing it to the other side with a strong rope.
It might be wise to copyright the material above as it has the potential to be a humorous movie.
They would also think that you get slim and sexy eating fast food for every meal washing it down with a big pint of alcohol. They can also mate with anyone anywhere they want, and the participating partners will understand. TV shows people swapping mating partners like swapping socks and it's all the norm. They might also feel a since of desperation to find a mating partner since about 80 percent of new shows depict very narrow stereotypes.. Of course, that's not reality.
Back to reality.................
Certainly, if someone were to fully trust in 'the deception box,' they might make choices that could rapidly ruin their life. Television sets should carry a surgeon general's warning label stating: "The individuals depicted in this device are not representing reality. Your political figures are not conspiring to harm you. There is no obligation to buy any products shown on this device, even during special events. The characters, assertions, and behaviors displayed through this medium are fictional and may result in harm or fatality if emulated." I might be using too fancy language in this warning, right? The label would have to be simpler for the average person to read.
The television lies to us constantly and I wonder what this does to the average person's mind that watches this faulty fiction 4 to 6 hours a day? Based on my observations and what I've heard, I've come to believe that there are individuals who desire societal acceptance for the content they view on this device. Naturally, this notion is absurd.
We cannot speed and run red lights with a vehicle whenever we want without great cost. Our car insurance would be unaffordable. The 'deception box' sex thing will probably get you killed by an injured partner, a relative, or a morbid disease. No matter how much the lying box show the majority of people are weird, the facts nationwide are probably around 95 percent of population are usual working folk, worldwide more. The unique don't want to be stereotyped by tv personalities and probably want to be left alone. They remember how they were "accepted" under Hitler during the 1940s. Look it up.
Delving too deeply into the political rabbit hole may lead us to impulsive actions, under the guise of self-protection, rather than merely being a wind-up soldier. Everything on the tv is a massive exaggeration to get the attention of your eyes and mind. The claim that over 95 percent of programming is based on falsehoods is a pretty accurate statement. Many individuals involved in programming may have limited educational backgrounds, yet they influence decisions on credit cards, automobiles, social behavior, personal behavior, artists, and home mortgages. They are just a bunch of pretenders and liars.
But I digress......
Immersing oneself in an alternate reality of deception for six hours daily can lead to negative psychological consequences, such as reduced self-esteem and emotional distress. It may also influence one's choices and beliefs, potentially shaping reality in negative ways. Awareness of the costs of lying and deception can encourage healthier communication practices. Additionally, excessive engagement with deceptive content could contribute to distorted perceptions, which might be an early sign of psychological concerns. No wonder folks that watch a lot of television need talk therapy and anti-depressants, eh?
The truth is that television probably damages your mind a little. Have you ever watched a scary movie and immediately after felt that certain demise was imminent? Your environment really hasn't changed since you watched the movie. I would still be in a rural town where just about everyone has a firearm and drives huge gas-guzzlers. Some clown wearing a mask and wielding a machete would be the one in serious peril. There are people around me that are just looking for a reason.
The 'deception box' creates a reality that doesn't actually exist; it's entirely fictional. I recall from my childhood, 'Gilligan's Island,' where seven American stereotypes were stranded on a deserted island. It's puzzling how they had an endless variety of food, including wild pig, and a constant supply of fresh water. Their clothes never seemed to wear out. They frequently encountered people already living on this supposedly deserted island. I could spot buildings behind the palm trees. How did they come about? And why did these people have so much clothing and supplies for a mere three-hour tour? Three single men on an island with two beautiful women? If that's what it means to be cast away, count me in.
The show is whimsical and does not accurately portray the reality of being stranded on a deserted island. Why would anyone wish to leave such an idyllic place? It's puzzling that numerous visitors come and go, yet none recall the castaways upon returning to civilization. Gilligan's consistent disruption of their escape attempts raises questions about his motives. After 14 years, the twist is that they all return to the island. It's bewildering why this nonsensical series was so compelling to watch.
Revisit some of your beloved shows; they're now free on Pluto or Roku. It's akin to attending a reunion and encountering an old crush. You might feel relieved, as if you've narrowly escaped. There they are, lounging comfortably with a cheap beer in hand.
We'll continue to peruse why watching a lot of television is bad for your state of mind....
