Why Are Those in the Entertainment Business so Flaky? |
Why are there so few celebrities who are critical thinkers? Apart from
comedians (mainly those who are political comics), rarely does one find
an actor who isn't into some kind of woo-woo. Maybe critical thinking
just doesn't produce the big bucks. Sad that.

Good point. With the exception of my immediate family, I know very few
(present company excluded, of course)

I rather doubt it. Throughout all of recorded history, "the people"
en masse have not been critical thinkers. TV's only role in this is
to serve as a surrogate teat in place of mind-rotting religion - one
reason religion in general tends to decry television.

Obviously you never caught "Politically Incorrect" when it was
on TV, before ABC's cowardice.

True. Real thinkers get dogpiled by the ranting raving far right
demanding censorship.
Real critical thinkers are not going to be allowed to have TV
shows.

It's in the job description:

uncritically.
