The media is extremely dangerous and controlling. (This extends to corporate America in general. I focus on the media because that’s where this hellish nightmare is most pronounced.)
When celebrities go rogue and try to express their own thoughts, they get more and more attention. Unfortunately advertisers distance themselves from these free thinking people because the unpredictability. Being able to control the lives and thoughts of people is the goal of the mainstream media. It’s a toxic spiral staircase. They keep people on the treadmill of superficial success without allowing people to truly express their own thoughts.
We are so close to breaking through this mental roadblock. Let’s not give up. People thinking for themselves is a very worthy goal, and I am optimistic that we are on the precipice of a breakthrough.
