AES 12: Drowning in Entertainment - An Unmeasured Response.

Click this sentence/line for the link to the video; I highly recommend to watch the video first before diving into my response. Thank you for your time.

This... article is going to be a little than usual. I only felt like sharing my raw observation of a video by oliSUNvia, "Drowning in Entertainment: The Age of Distraction." I wrote these... "responses" right after watching the video last night, so excuse me if there's anything that's inaccurate or just overall half-baked. The section starts... now:

Great video, solid points, but the argumentation is still not perfect; it didn't feel like it had a proper conclusion to it, which drove to this kind of behaviour:
It's really surprising how people (or at least the YT comment) took this information in a... negative way? A way that could potentially be more harmful. She's trying to criticize a society from Brave New World (I read the book by the way how cool is that) and then there are still people who felt proud of themselves for censoring "1984 style" of the information they're being shoved at; thinking that their ignorance is a true bliss. Granted, they acknowledged about their limit of processing actual meaningful information, and that's a good thing: The problem lies in them being absolutely left out on THE informations which are actually of importance. Okay to picture this more clearly: We live in an age where every information is easily accessible, right? That's an advantage! That's something which YOU should take advantage of, not those big media companies. It is wise to abstain from less meaningful things, but it is less wise to run away from it. Oh and by the way, these less meaningful informations now do have actual meanings. If I didn't have social medias, I wouldn't relate or even understand the video, or take similar conclusions to it. Meaningful is a concept, a metaphor if you will, and it literally is up to us to decide whether something is meaningful or not. Social media is not the only thing that misled people into thinking that intelligence is knowing a lot of things too by the way; it's the institution which we are veeeeery very very much familiar with! Don't feel bad about this though, like I said above, it is up to us to decide whether something is meaningful or not. This video had a great beginning, but I think it failed to emphasize that the problem eventually lies upon us, and not the big corpo medias. Sure they've done some irreversible damage to how we consume information, but... is it truly irreversible? If we cannot fight an entity that's bigger and stronger than us, then we, inevitably, must change ourselves for the worse or the better. Remember, changes come within ourselves first. (This bit is a little unrelated but are you aware that you need to even question whether a picture is true or false nowadays. Like, it could very much be AI, which is honestly even more terrifying.) For the Entertainment part... I think she nailed that point, albeit a little too over the edge for my taste. Uhhhh Catching Fire is still a pretty boring movie, uhh what else what else... Entertainment is still can be wield for good in many cases... too much tangents about herself and her channel; it didn't feel like it had any significant purpose to the narrative; a little distracting but I'm glad she lets out her frustration to be honest. Yup, I think that sums up my take on the video. That's it, I suppose. I hope you enjoyed my little unmeasured response. 'Till next time, dear reader.
