But I don't say that the computer screen gets some kind of special clause. Computer screens are almost as bad for you as TV screens (they have a slightly different flicker and refresh rate). If I tried to make the point that computers are fine, and TV and video games are bad for you, then I would be a hypocrite. But, if you look carefully, I never made that point. I skipped computer screens because it was already a large scale argument, and I want to stick close to my strongest points. I know that all the things I have against TV's stand against computers. May be we have more control over what we do in our modified mind-state on a computer, but it is the same in lack of health.
Am I a hypocrite because I am here right now? No. Do I have trouble "practicing what I preach"? Absolutley, it has been a pinnacle of my life. But is that a flaw? If I can't do something perfectly, does that have a bearing on it's right or wrong-ness? Should I aim for ideologues, for an objective right action? I think the 'practice what you preach' issue is about human growth. I know more than I have put into action as of yet, just room to grow. It has to do with positive change, with attempting to think of solutions creatively...
If asked I would quickly point out that the same hypnosis and sitting still for hours issues stand on computers, they also have their own issues about flow and speed of information. I reserve that you only call me a hypocrite when I am one.
If you seriously never thought the TV was hypnotizing you, and you're not just being contrary, I am flabbergasted. I have brought this up untold thousands of times, and although you're not the first to question this concept, no one has ever flat out denied it. Congratulations. If you are literally as alert in the woods than in front of the TV, I bow to your superior ability to function. The rest of us, myself included very much feel the mental and physiological effects of the boob tube.
Seriously, slowed brain wave function. Unquestionable... But you're allowed to think what you will, it just amazes me.
And the hypnosis is supposed to be a presumption we all agree on, and then we can get to the dissemination of information to individuals whilst they are hypnotized. We can move on to the triggering of the 'fight or flight' characteristic in these 3 second clip music videos. Constantly changing scene, and it's effects. The fact that it hypnotizes you is the beginning of the argument, but I always get stuck on the very first presumption of my point because of the rabidly contrary crowd on this forum.
Thanks, I appreciate that you took the time to look up my log time. It shows that you care about my quality of life
