DISCRIMINATION AND DISCERNMENT IN VIEWING AND CONSUMER CHOICES
If you derive your entertainment, news or information, exclusively or primarily, from popular sources like movies or television or magazines or the like, without digging beneath the surface for authenticity or the truth. Or if you neglect the viewing of alternative sources of any of them for correction; then, you are being processed, culturally, politically, mentally and spiritually, unknowingly.
Popular sources of entertainment, news, and information all are responsible to their financial hierarchies, who finance and prescribe a certain perspective, doctrine, code, or angle to promote their appearance of honesty, truth, or legitimacy, while being other.
This insulates their power.
Like chemicals in a flask, or specimens in a Petri dish are you, even barbecue on a grill unless you use discrimination and discernment in your viewing and consumer choices, continually!
