Media in general rots your mind, but not in the "sitting to close to the TV screen will give you brain cancer" kind of way... I think media just makes you jaded to life. You can expirience everything vicariously by watching other do it on TV, in movies, in video games, even in the news.

I'm not saying there's no place for it (media) but it has certainly dominated the western culture. We are all jaded to expirience, knowledge, and eveything else. There is nothing new, or at least nothing new that is worth learning, if it can't be watched or played. And I'm talking about deep stuff... not superficialalities...

Blah.
