American Culture - A Modern Ship of Fools

Note, the following words are not those of this blogger but they reflect what this blogger also sees.

"The Cognitive Dissonance We Feel Because Of Matt Lauer, Charlie Rose, And Kevin Spacey, Weinstein, ...DT". And let's add 'Cosby', Levine and many more.

"The TV personalities are just that - marketable masks and the smartest, most fluid self-diguisers (and very likely the most sociopathic) are the ones most likely to vanquish all other competitors by whatever means and reach the 'king of the hill'. Unfortunately this is the 'universal' of American culture; it's a daily lesson imprinted with force and through the talents of our best writers and artists who have been diverted from grand art and literature into generating luridly violent and sex-filled media extravaganzas which will crown 'kings of the hill' for a few weeks or months of short-attention-span popularity. But even in America's transistory popularity cycles, immense amounts of money can be made. Thus we have the ascent of the Lauers and Spaceys, assisted through co-partners like the Hollywood producers...it's all a ship of fools captained by grinning death masks. And there seem to be no pure Angels. "

As posted previously several times in this blog, America seems to have sunk morally (but ascended commercially)to nearly unretrievable depths of commercialization of nearly all aspects of American culture, for prurient purpose. Much money has been made of our American journey through Hell.
