This references back to my node "
We are in The Matrix". It means that I am
opting-out of the
popular culture created by the
marketing departments of
large corporations, and intend to spend my life as I see fit, regardless of the way I am told I should
look and
behave by
prime-time sitcoms. I'm spending less time watching
brain-dead television and listening to
manufactured pop music, and more time using my
brain to do something
productive.
I will avoid and ridicule attempts made by persons or organizations to influence me while they have a stake in my decision. I will do my own research to decide what is best for me, and trust the opinions of similiarly-minded friends over those of the rehearsed testimony of magazines and television. The size of a company is inversely proprotional to the amount of trust I will have for, and patronage I will give to it.
I am jumping off the bandwagon.
I really enjoy
everything, as it is a place created by people instead of corporations. Most of the ideas expressed here
facinate,
amuse, and
shock me beyond anything I have ever experienced in the
popular culture. Ideas seem more real here. My thanks go to the creators of this site for their
creativity and
efforts, which allow so many people to
archive their
ideas.
