TV, Number One Drug of Choice

Chances are if you are reading this article, you are not necessarily one of the WALKING DEAD. There has been a lot of studies on TV watching, and they all say some pretty nasty things about it's effects on human brains functions. 

There are two basic types of TV dead heads, those in denial, of how much they really watch; " no really, I only watch the discovery channel and news."

We have all heard these types, phony intellectuals. I had a roommate once, he watched TV from the time he got home from work ,until he fell asleep, but, he always told other people he hardly ever watched TV. Of course the opposite was true, he hardly ever did anything but watch the "idiot box." The idiot box is what the American general public labeled the TV when it first appeared in the early 1950's. We now call those addicted to the idiot box, couch potato's, a potato being synonymous with someone who has low brain function. Not enough cells are sparking.

Before any studies had been done, people recognized the effects in others of a lot of TV viewing. Since then, the most extensive studies have shown that we go into a alpha state as we watch the idiot box. This is a limited state of awareness, the same state of mind we are in before we fall asleep. This is the state of mind, that hypnotists induce people into, before they are subject to hypnotic suggestions.

In this state we are subject to outside suggestions, because our mental resources are on the down low. We are in a very receptive, passive condition. Yes, and that's why major corporations are willing to pump billions into TV advertising. 

Those annoyingly repetitive ads, actually bypass your more discretionary conscious level, and slip through to the subconscious. So when are shopping for a new soft drink, you are not aware that this is actually a post hypnotic suggestion. In fact, after purchasing that new type of drink, you will consider it your own idea. http://dieoff.org/page24.htm
