I’ve been enjoying Peter Stromberg’s content for a while now. His blog about the way entertainment has affected our society and psychology since its modern expansion has been one of the most refreshing reading materials lately. Like Peter, I believe this is critical topic that we should analyze more, a topic that doesn’t receive the exposure it should.
What do we get when entertainment is our main motivator?
Overpaid actors and players.
The “evil” of conformity.
The level of complexity behind entertainment and its effect on people goes far beyond what one could write in a blog post. But just to make things interesting, I’ll add my theory to explain what lies ahead for our “fun” western society (mental gymnastics if you will) in the next post.

Peter Stromberg has some great observations and conclusions. Thanks for the link.
I look forward to your next entertaining post.
I really like this post and how you’ve related everything to our poor lifestyle/entertainment choices. A lot of us ( myself included ) are not making conscious entertainment choices.
Just curious, how do you entertain yourself? What are your entertainment choices?
