   Amusing Ourselves to Death

   Neil Postman · at 8:31

   Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman is a media critique arguing that modern public discourse has been dangerously degraded by the shift from print culture to television and visual entertainment, where amusement supersedes serious thought.

   Discussed

   “like I was reading Neil Postman amusing ourselves to death over the weekend and he was sort of lamenting the rise of Ronald Reagan in the age of TV and looking back he was like, "Well, William Howard Taft could never have been elected in the age of TV cuz he was so like obscenely obese."”
