| Lordpatch User Info... | "...the psychological consequences are less when technology permits us to act at a distance-- ...Bauman says that animal pity is inspired by the proximity of the sufferer, and it seems contradictory but true that it is harder to kill one person with one's hands than a million by pressing a button. However, there is another technique civilization uses which Bauman does not discuss; this is the narcotization of the public via mass entertainments, which procedurally ensure that we are distracted and daydreaming and substantively counteract compassion by encouraging our cruelty.... The implication was, as Juvenal's famous quote implies, that the masses put off democracy and substituted spectacles: Now that no one buys our votes, the public has long since cast off its cares; the people that once bestowed commands, consulships, legions, and all else, now meddles no more and longs eagerly for just two things--bread and circuses." -- john drennan -- "Progress & Decay" http://www.spectacle.org/496/dream.html - Tue, 19 Sep 2006 6:24pm Edited: Tue, 19 Sep 2006 6:26pm | ||
