I don’t have cable either for the same reason. I also get engrossed in a subject. I love gaining knowledge and seeing different perspectives of certain subjects. I have many interests too & can’t seem to have enough time to search all my interests. I’m glad I have trusted bloggers who I can follow who can do some of the research for me & I can at least watch their summaries on a regular basis. I think I’m spending my time on meaningful subjects though while I think a lot of humans - at least in the United States are staying numb and dumb by the things they either choose to be hypnotized by or manipulated and tricked to be hypnotized by. I’m glad I’m awake. I hope I can help awaken others. At one point yesterday I was in a group of 6 people. 1 was sort of awake to what I think is the truth and another was sort of awake to the truth. The other 3 are completely asleep and thought some of my comments were crazy. I at least planted the seed and told them to do their own research and investigations before believing everything their told. I heard that yesterday in one of these dialogs. I love that idea. Telling people to stop believing everything they are told by their talking screens. I heard that humans will believe whatever their told and that’s why the ones that are totally plugged into the mainstream society ways of doing things are so easily programmed and conditioned. That’s why getting off the grid so to speak is such a beautiful place to be. It’s a much freer existence with a lot less fears & much more positivity. Thanks for the dialogue @bifilarcoil
