As humans have moved into totally artifical environments, our direct contact with and knowledge of the planet has been snapped. Disconnected, like astronauts floating in space, we cannot know up from down or truth from fiction.
Conditions are appropriate for the implantation of arbitrary realities.
Television is one recent example of this, a serious one, since it greatly accelerates the problem. It is no accident that television has been dominated by a handful of corporate powers. Neither is it accidental that television has been used to re-create human beings into a new form that matches the artificial, commercial environment. A conspiracy of technological and economic factors made this inevitable and continue to. On The Human Being Television technology produces neuro-physiological responses in the people who watch it.
