Anons, I have a movie for movie night.
The battle of the mind of North America will be fought in the video arena.
The television screen is the retina of the minds eye, therefore the television is part of the physical structure of the brain.
Whatever appears on the television screen emerges as raw experience for anyone who watches it.
Television is then reality. And reality is less than television.
Could what you watch on television change your perception of reality?
Could it be used to control you?
Would it be for good? For evil?
'expand your thinking' has been the name of the game from day 1. Is this science fiction? Or is this possibly more closer to reality than we're comfortable to admit.

a sleazy cable-TV programmer begins to see his life and the future of
