Highly processed entertainment. The high fructose corn syrup of culture. Have you seen the studies on what “shorts” and tic tok content is doing to people’s brainz? French fry brain. Micro waved tv dinner’ing our ability to think perceive react.
I am loving your work! Please keep at it and have a blessed holiday!
Brilliant piece, the metabolic angle adds serious depth to this. The link between low-energy physiology and literal language really clarifies why this isn't just artistic decline but something systemic. When people can barely process nuance because their nervous systems are running on fumes, of course entertainment tilts toward spoon-feeding. Kinda reminds me of how fastfood chains optimize for convenience at the cost of everythig else, Netflix is doing that but for attention.

Very kind of you to say. You too, may it be filled with happy mitochondria and lots of efficiently generated ATP 😁
