A Facebook post i saw made me think of
this book.. One of my favorite expressions is
"Artist use lies to tell the truth.."
Recently, I finished Neil Gaiman's American Gods -
Without giving away too many spoilers,
in Gaiman's world gods are beings that feed off..
energy from people -
whether it's hate..
anger..
love..
devotion..
Different times - I mean, we may
complain about what's in the news -
but we forget that we really generate or create
the hunger for things
that are sensational.
..as long as we click on those
"click bait" news items -
As long as we feed into it
and give our attention
The media basically is what we make it
..and also the other thing that we do different
times is we share or we ..point out to
other people about different things.
So, in effect we create the news by what we
choose. It's the same thing as voting
with our wallet we choose
which movie to watch
And likewise with the new that's really what
they're going to keep putting out then.
..is in fact the news that we keep sharing..
we keep reading..
we keep of basically drawing -
..giving our attention to - so just wanted to
see if you know if you had thoughts
about what it is that is the news.
..what it is that
..we devote our attention to..
..and then what is that you give..
your attention, because that's really an
in effect..
the reality that we're creating
