Quitting Cable: Day 12
February 3rd, 2010
I feel like a convert, a reborn media consumer. I feel like some kind of religious freak enthusiast who has just discovered the invisible truth that has been there all along. I was blind, and now I can see. I am driven to share my new-found knowledge. I shall become insufferable!
No. I won’t.
Marc Maron recently had a rant about this particular topic, wishing that everyone could just unplug for [a month?] and reset. I don’t recall his exact quote, but it was along the lines of “How much of our angst and frenzy is self-inflicted, driven by the media that we are gladly jamming down our eye sockets and ear holes. WTF!”
Two years ago, I would have thought that Marc was a knee-jerk praetorian. Today, I am a believer.
