I know this is nothing new, but imagine what we could do with billions of hours worth of brain time if we all collectively decided not to watch TV (or even just stopped watching Big Bang)
We’d be reading trashy novels, listening to trashy radio shows, watching trashy plays, leaving silly comments on message boards etc. Human nature is human nature.
You think Isaac Newton wouldn’t be working on the principia if big bang theory tv show existed back then?
Would Stephen Hawking have actually unified field theory if Coronation Street didn’t exist?
