In the heart of the empire, same as it ever was. I mbin "boosted" your comment, because it's the same old pipe dream they've always sold us that we keep buying, with just enough "good" hits to keep us coming back, as I elsewhere.

What? Are you seriously gonna say that television and Internet weren't a massive boon for society regarding education/knowledge sharing and social exchange? You've such a negative outlook on life if you honestly believe that.

I remember when people would tell you things and you just had to say OK cause your only refute was to hop on over to the library and find a book as a source.

And pre-Internet, when would you ever communicate with someone outside of your little town? Sure sign up for a penpal or some shit like that, but the ability for me where I am on the shitter to write this comment to you is INSANE in the broad spectrum of the human race.

Stop being such a doomer
