I can't match the near-unhinged brilliance of the above comment, but I'll add that many meditation traditions encourage serenity by inspecting the details of the ordinary instead of a constant grasping for new stimulation.
- pvarangot 4y agoIt's also of note that no meditation tradition drinks sours.
- Ericson2314 4y agoThere's a lot of monastic traditions of fermentated foods; I would not be so sure.
- m3047 4y agoI brew. I've known a lot of weird fanatics. A friend who also brews and is serious enough to do meditation retreats has gotten into a thing where he's making beer harvested with wild yeast in turn harvested from ginger root... some tradition somewhere he says.
- tjr225 4y agoEquating whatever random super hero drivel is being shoved down your throat to meditation is quite the stretch.
- scarface74 4y agoThe MCU by itself has made over $25 billion world wide and that’s not counting the Fox/Marvel series that Disney now owns. They must be doing something right. And that’s just in theaters. That’s not counting money made via syndication, licensing, home video, etc
- dougabug 4y agoSure, but they have tapped into a pre-existing fan base and many decades of storylines, themes, and characters. Disney has also done this successfully with the Star Wars franchise, and the Mouse House will likely continue to make most of its profits in the future from long standing cultural properties.
- tjr225 4y agoJust because it makes a lot of money doesn’t mean it’s not drivel.
- scarface74 4y agoWell, maybe if it is the most popular content, have you thought that your taste may not be inline with the majority?
- tjr225 4y agoWhether or not the majority is into drivel is not my concern.
- dccoolgai 4y agoAgreed. Every once in a while I read a comment on here that makes me wish I could read a whole book in its style.
