I live in USA, and since Twitter-thinking took over the nation. #TwitterThinkMania - early November 2012 - it has been non-stop decline. Everything Neil Postman explained in his 1985 book, #184Pages long, "Amusing Ourselves To Death" has proven true. This is Hell. Non-stop praise of MISUNDERSTANDINGS and FALSEHOODS.
"He was the one who argued, 40 years ago, that entertainment was a kind of sewage, leaking into our serious discourse and poisoning it. That TV in particular — these were the days before social media — was training everyone to expect amusement, one-liners and feel-good moments from what should be real discussions of actual ideas." #184Pages
"Our politics are unhinged. He saw it coming 40 years ago." #184Pages
"Who got it right? 'It' being: everything. Our current mess. The low information, disinformation, gullibility and hysteria that are breaking out like measles during Election 2024."

People in 2025 on their Apple iPhone blame "the media" / MSM, the same people can't find a well known author, Neil Postman, from 1985 "Amusing Ourselves to Death" which is a book about "the mainstream media", apply it to SOCIAL MEDIA, Apple iPhone, Apple iPad
#184Pages book people can't face, avoid
The MAJOR point I am #RepeatingRepeater repeating is that we now have EXPERIENCE. If we can sober up and see how off the rails we have become as a TOTAL SOCIETY and use the 1985 #Paperback of #184Pages as a "common sense" #CommonSenseExpansion we can be world-leaders in better-understanding how Islamic societies go off the rails with Quran book (604 pages) and Mosque education centers / teachings..
#WeThePeopleUSA can come together facing what the Apple iPhone has done.
