We're living in a high-tech world. So much of our stimulus and entertainment comes from things that are quite abstract and disembodied.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Our society, where we are right now, our minds are junkyards. We watch TV and sit on the computer all day and barely have an original thought.
It seems that entertainment is what most excites us and what we value above everything else.
People get used to more complex forms of entertainment, and they become bored by simpler forms. Television has become more complex in order to feed our demand.
We're exposed to ideas everywhere. The world is full of ideas. I think that television is a pretty powerful medium in that regard.
We live in a media world simultaneously obsessed with technology and personality.
We live in diverse communities with all sorts of people from all sorts of different backgrounds. The more our entertainment can be a reflection of the world we live in, the better it is for all of us.

The entertainment world, television, movies, social media, YouTube stuff, we're so bombarded with so much imagery and such a great sense of inhumanity, and there is a coarseness, a coarsening of interaction.
Our world is enriched when coders and marketers dazzle us with smartphones and tablets, but, by themselves, they are just slabs. It is the music, essays, entertainment and provocations that they access, spawned by the humanities, that animate them - and us.
