Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.~It’s tremendously harmful to young children with adverse impact on social skills, brain development, knowledge in general, capacity for self-directed learning, and obesity.
~Pediatricians recommend no TV until age 2-3 at earliest.
~TV has destroyed even the illusion that we have a genuine culture in this country.
~How much time does TV cost you?
~How much money does TV cost you?
~TV is an emotional drug that is currently totally legal and connected to a massively powerful cartel that pushes it’s addictive product on you every single day.
~What would your life be like if you couldn’t waste so much time getting high on television?
~Ask yourself seriously, would we be better or worse or the same if TV had never been invented?
~TV as an image-based medium that cultivates an emotional response is increasingly destroying our capacity for logical, linguistic thought.
~How much TV is really “good” TV? Consider both quality and non-vulgarity.
~Everything TV touches becomes polluted and corrupted by it. Consider just sports and religion, for example.
