What’s amazing to me is that what you just described matches how I feel about the world. We are surrounded by vapid bullshit media. When I go pump gas at the gas station, a television in the pump tells me news of Hollywood stars caught in a controversy with their lover. This happens while we bomb foreign countries in operations our government openly lies about. Those lies are then carried on all major news outlets. Information is ‘available’ but it’s like hunting for gold on the beach without a metal detector. I haven’t actually read Fahrenheit 451 but it’s striking to me how much your presentation of the ideas you present as dismissible actually strongly match my view of the world. Keep in mind, I’m someone who stopped using Facebook years ago and went vegan last year because I found the practice of enslaving animals to be cruel (and also demonstrably horrible for the environment). So I’m not one to buy mainstream ideas, but I think that’s my point here.
