Don't get it twisted. What these talk shows are doing is establishing a philosophy for you. What used to be the province of minds like Voltaire, Plato, or Kant is now the playscape for Rush Limbaugh? Steve Harvey? and Oprah?
Really?
Every time the camera tightens in on their face, that's theatre for the philosophy. After the midgets finish fighting...after the tear-filled relation of some personal trauma...after the fake laughter during the lame-assed skit...and, after the anchor pleads for you to visit the network's Facebook page to share your thoughts, the watered down philosophy begins. Consensus does not make an action WISER. If a clot of idiots agree to do something and one wise man objects, consensus demands that you pursue the idiotic course of action. ("Hey, y'all! Watch this!")
Fuck that. Imma do me. You do you...way over there where the pieces of you won't splash on my shirt.
The irony of this post does not escape me, by the way.
