What's wrong with this picture?
However, with respect to reality; every book, every word, symbol, letter, shape, totem pole, radio, statue, star, day, person, animal, dream, fantasy, idea, wink, hair follicle, wardrobe, condition, circumstance, incidence, atom, electrical spark, contact, or manifestation . . . is a mind altering device. One man's angel is an other man's monster. The only relevant things to be aware of are . . . The importance of choosing wisely; being a good self governor / programmer / captain of your own mind; recognizing the cause of real monsters, and what it takes to slay them.
To suggest "throwing out your TV", burning books, tearing down statues, destroying science and technology, is like suggesting that we turn off the lights, re-write history, or snuff out the last ray of twilight that might help people exit Plato's Cave; not smart things to do, but . . . clever . . . especially if your goal is to help herds of people keep pace with the drum beat of ignorance, making humanity more easily ruled from an imaginary place up top, a place that does not exist --- it's merely an imaginary hierarchy that will always be sought by real monsters.
Objectivism, Laissez-faire capitalism, and libertarian principles are not tales about teaching children that monsters exist, children already know monsters exist, they are about teaching children that monsters can be politely slain, to neither feed them, nor be their lunch!
