Are You Not Entertained?
When david foster wallace
said "we are entertaining ourselves
to death", he was not kidding
Today in this world of hyper media
stimulation, we have become
overly entertained
Today with the abundance of video games,
movies, tv shows, pornography, music,
you name it, we got it; it has taken an effect
on how we are our motivated in our daily lives
This infinite amount of entertainment at our fingertips
has created a problem in itself
Like any drug you eventually become adapted to its effects
and as a result seek more and more excitement
Media no different then cocaine has a temporary effect of pleasure
on the mind and leaves a craving for more and more novelty
Thus, we find ourselves in this contradiction of pleasure, in which we
are constantly fortifying our entertainment coping mechanisms in order
to deal with the day to day mundanities of our existences
Ironically, which have become more mundain as result of our constant searches
for higher realms of pleasure within these entertainment boxes witch we have created
for ourselves.
