Hey there, as an ex 24-7 TV watching kind of zombie I once was, it has now been about 5 weeks of no TV for me too.
I do watch an occasional movie, or interesting youtube/google doco, and find my brain is like a sponge now...
I just want to soak up everything I never knew about and my learning about history, and everything inbetween has amazed me, educated me, and now I even read...I'm talking I have never read a book in over 20 years, and this year alone I have read about 8 books, I mean what the hell!? (lol in a good way :P)
NOW...
The interesting thing I am finding is the pitch and hi frequency signals the TV is transmitting, unaware of this before. IT IS LOUD. IT IS MENACING, and it seems to scramble my brain, and my dog notices the TV now more if I turn it on a comercial channel. The other thing is the picture, I mean hell it's like a strobe light now, and flickers, with extremly hypnotic, and trancey themes, I have to turn it OFF! That's right, the TV now actually causes me to turn it off as I am obviously over that addiction, and now hyper sensitive to it.
My question is, have these HD-TVs got some sort of HAARP like inbuilt construct to magnify these effects, because to me the TV seems like a micro-wave oven with the door open while on.
Thankyou for bringing this up, I am glad you like me have given this 'drug' the flick.
