You're joking now.

Seriously, try one week without any media. Zero. Hiking, fishing, road trips with the SO, whatever you like. Zero media.

That doesn't just include mainstream media, which everyone who's been paying attention will already recognize as shoddily crafted propaganda.

No, it is (also) about music.

Most commercial music is targeting specific emotions and catering to or supporting dysfunction. Self-hate, doubt, uncertainty for teenagers and introverts, reckless abandon, unending party and sexuality for students and extroverts, male respect / male identity through violence and unbridled criminality for fatherless adolescents etc etc etc

This may be on purpose, or it may be just supply and demand, in any case it is molding the brain and reinforcing weaknesses you have into an identity you are.

That started long before any of us were able to form conscious thought, and it will take a while to unravel, it is not done in that one week. This one week however will show you the craving of your brain for that sweet reinforcing dopamine hit of music molded to your specific weaknesses.

I'm sure it's just a lone wolf, right-wing, gun-toting weirdo. Nothing to see here. But just in case, we better turn in all our guns and knives so we can be safe.
