Illusion and Delusion: The Perils of Mass Media's Problematic Paradigms


Listen Later

 If you’ve ever been trapped in a paradigm, emerged from it, and then looked back in retrospect at the folly of deception, you have probably experienced a sense of amazement that you could have been so incredibly misled, so convincingly deceived by something so unreal. Many people today live in similarly problematic paradigms, caught up in a world that is more of an invasive  illusion than a true representation of reality. There are imaginary definitions and pressures and imaginary milestones and deadlines and imaginary audiences and expectations.  It’s a world of illusion and delusion, one that mass media defines and dictates: a handful of owners parroting the same narratives,  applauding the same mediocrity, prescribing the same cures, consuming the same fare. Like our food intake, a media diet should be managed through portion control and nutrient density. Too much “dangerous nonsense” will skew the behavioral scale. To be effective, media use needs to be tempered, purposeful, and contemplative in nature, for its consumption is capable of directing the outcome of our lives: What we meditate on, we believe, and what we believe, we become. Join Dr. Lisa Dunne as she provides pathways for breaking free of mass media's problematic paradigms.
