“I believe I am not mistaken in saying that Christianity is a demanding and serious religion. When it is delivered as easy and amusing, it is another kind of religion altogether.” ― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business, 1985

Yes, but WHY did USA choose wrong. Answer: Neil Postman 1985, "Amusing Ourselves to Death".

There should be 3 or 4 people like Bernie Sanders, not just one. Same issue with AOC, there should be 25 her age. But we favor liars as leaders.

Neil Postman's concerns apply beyond USA. Lack of understanding media goes beyond one nation. Marshall McLuhan before.

So much denial of Media Ecology, Information Warfare.

People think MAGA induces this, no Twitter-induced this. 1995. MAGA doesn't induce Middle East patterns for thousands of years.
