Question: Does TV limit your mind!?
A quote from Bill Hicks:
"Watching television is like taking black spray paint to your third eye!."

I think it does, it tells our mind that there are impossibilities, it limits what we think is possible!. It tells our minds to think a certain way, also turning it into mush!.

Your opinion!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yeah!.!.I definitely feel like I"m losing brain cells when I'm watching it!. I just get in this trance like state and it becomes mind numbing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It kind of has the reverse effect on me!. But in my opinion no!. It doesn't to me!. The internet will lower your iq though!. It teaches you to think and remember things in big chunks of random info because while moving through search engines and such you are bombarded by information that you don't care about but you can't ignore!. It's true!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

TV is like a drug for me!. I'm not addicted to it by any means (thank God), but I do use it to numb my brain when I don't feel like feeling it anymore!. If that makes any sense to you!.

I don't know if the TV *limits* your mind, but I think it warps it so to speak!. And by the way there *are* impossibilities!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
