"Kudzisangalatsa Tokha mpaka Imfa" wolemba Neil Postman amayankha funsoli. Bukuli ndikutsutsa mwatsatanetsatane zomwe ukadaulo wazama TV ukuchita kwa anthu, komanso zotsatirapo zake pazandale, maphunziro, chipembedzo, komanso kuphedwa kwa madera ena m'miyoyo yathu. Linalembedwa zaka makumi awiri zapitazo choncho sing'anga wamkulu yemwe amatsutsidwa ndi TV, komabe imagwiritsabe ntchito media ambiri omwe amatizaza tsiku ndi tsiku.

Munthawi yanga pano ndawonapo maumboni angapo a Matrix. Makamaka, kuti mutalowa mu NoFap kumamveka ngati kutulutsidwa ku Matrix. Izi sizinachitike mwangozi. Kulimbitsa kulumikizana pakati pazotsatira zoyipa zaukadaulo zomwe ndatchula pamwambapa, nayi mawu oyamba m'buku la "Amusing Ourself to Death", momwe wolemba amafanizira zolemba za George Orwell ndi Aldous Huxley:
"Tidali tcheru pa 1984. Chaka chitakwana ndipo ulosiwo sunatero, Amereka oganiza bwino adayimba modzitamandira. Mizu ya deomcracy yaufulu inali itagwira. Kulikonse komwe zigawengazi zidachitika, ife, osachepera, sitinayenderepo ndi maloto oopsa a Orwellian.
Tikadakhala kuti tayiwala kuti pambali pa masomphenya akuda a Orwell, panali wina wamkulu- pang'ono, wosadziwika pang'ono, wowopsa mofanana: Dziko Latsopano Lalimbika la Aldous Huxley. Mosiyana ndi zomwe ambiri amakhulupirira ngakhale pakati pa ophunzira, Huxley ndi Orwell sanalosere zomwezi. Orwell akuchenjeza kuti tidzagonjetsedwa ndi kuponderezedwa komwe kumachitika kunja. Koma m'masomphenya a Huxley, palibe Big Brother yemwe akuyenera kulanda anthu ufulu wodziyimira pawokha, kukhwima komanso mbiri. Monga adaziwonera, anthu adzayamba kukonda kuponderezedwa kwawo, kukondwerera maluso omwe amasintha luso lawo loganiza.
Chomwe Orwell ankaopa chinali chakuti anthu amene angaletse mabuku. Chomwe Huxley ankaopa n’chakuti sipadzakhala chifukwa choletsera buku, chifukwa sipadzakhala amene ankafuna kuwerenga. Orwell ankaopa anthu amene angatilepheretse kudziwa zambiri. Huxley ankaopa anthu amene angatipatse zambiri moti tingasiye kungokhala osachitapo kanthu komanso kudzikuza. Orwell ankaopa kuti choonadi chingabisike kwa ife. Huxley ankaopa kuti choonadi chingamire m’nyanja yopanda pake. Orwell ankaopa kuti tidzakhala chikhalidwe chogwidwa. Huxley ankaopa kuti tidzakhala chikhalidwe chopanda pake, chotanganidwa ndi zinthu zofanana ndi za anthu, chizolowezi chodyera, ndi ana agalu ang’onoang’ono. Monga momwe Huxley ananenera mu Brave New World Revisited, anthu okonda ufulu wa anthu komanso oganiza bwino omwe nthawi zonse amakhala maso kuti atsutse nkhanza ‘analephera kuganizira chilakolako cha anthu chofuna kusokoneza zinthu.’ Mu 1984 Huxley anawonjezera kuti, anthu amalamulidwa ndi kuvulaza anthu. Mu Brave New World, amalamulidwa ndi kusangalatsa anthu. Mwachidule, Orwell ankaopa kuti zomwe timadana nazo zidzatiwononga, koma Huxley ankaopa kuti zomwe timakonda zidzatiwononga.
Bukuli likutanthauza kuti mwina Huxley, osati Orwell, anali kunena zoona. ”
Osangoyimilira kuseweretsa maliseche. Ndikukulimbikitsani kuti musakayikire momwe ukadaulo umakhudzira mbali zina za moyo wanu.
