See, this isn't a personal argument. I think TV is bad for you, literally viewing TV is unhealthy for your brain. That is objective fact, although we can debate it. So whether I make this argument on the computer has no bearing, and certainly does not make me a hypocrite. If I tried to shy away from the point you are making, but I allow it fully. Yes, computer screens are almost as bad for you. The thing about more control isn't an excuse, because I am not excusing any behavior, it's just that on a computer you slip into a trance, and you are in charge of what you look at. On the TV you are very much not in chharge of what comes on, in the big picture.
And I would like to read your thing about TV viewing Rhizo, I would be very interested. I can see that there may be some strange benefit to surgeons, but we are talking about normal people and children mostly. I don't think that point stands for the average (non-surgeon) person.
You guys live your life as you will, but to argue that the TV is anything other than bad for you intellectually (and we haven't even gotten tot he bias and manipulative coercion of TV shows and news, and the very deliberate and debilitating effect of saturation advertisement).
I'm gonna go live in the real world, seems like the right thing to do.
