we've outsourced emotion to TV and movies

#society #thought

• nowadays, we can go to TV for easy access to emotions
  • fear
  • pride
  • awe
• the one time I've been moved close to tears in the past year has been watching the ending of season 3 of For All Mankind. Watching as those people, from different countries, completely different backgrounds, were brought together by the common human need to survive
• TV, books, movies--they let us experience emotions without the consequences
  • Without actually being close to death.
  • Without actually losing a friend, a loved one.
• just another example of how we've outsourced life
