“ Many years ago, a friend tried to convince me that the passive consumption of any media – film or television, maybe even music – was bad for the soul.”

This is so melodramatic. But no, it’s not going to poison your soul to Netflix binge. In fact, I guess no one ever wrote anything called uncle toms cabin and that novel certainly did nothing toward the abolishment of slavery in North America

A modern parallel is Dharma and Greg and LGBTQ liberation in the 2000s

There’s no such a thing as passive consumption of art. Its in its entirety a subsconscious thing.
