re: #309 Fairly Sure I’m Still Obdicut

But was society ever geared towards lengthy discussions of why the world is gray? That’s the part I’m arguing.

I’d say yes. Which is why science, philosophy, and the arts came into being.

What’s the basis for this argument? It seems like a huge stretch to me.

I’d argue nothing lives in a vacuum, and success is mimicked. Sesame Street was successful and for the first 20 years it was about short attention spans. I’d argue the effect of that is hardly a huge stretch, no matter how hard to actually quantify.
