Josh Brandon overthinks the impact infotainment media has on influencing our personalities and ideals. The first of many "For Entertainment Purposes Only" episodes examining a critical period in America's ethical decline - the 1990's. #television #brainwashing #cultism In this video I talk more about 1996, 1997 and the Telecommunications Act that shifted our society forever toward sensationalized tabloid media. America in the 90's was a scary time. A song about a school shooting kicked off the decade (Jeremy) and a school shooting ended the decade (Columbine). It was a dark time, but white Conservative Christian Nationalism was on the rise with domestic terror attacks making headlines. What distracted America from THAT harsh reality rearing its ugly head today? How did America get dumbed down and numbed down THIS bad over the last quarter century?I'm setting the stage for the next several episodes dealing with the critical period that brought us some of the best and worst pop culture has to offer - and how that pop culture impacted our overall culture and led us to where we are today. OVERTHINKING EVERYTHING SERIES DESCRIPTIONOverthinking Everything is essentially about exploring the Origin of the Idea. Why do we think the things we think and believe the things we believe? Using the Social Studies – History, Geography, Civics, and Economics. These are the basic foundations of Political Science. In OE, it’s Psychology, Philosophy, Sociology and Anthropology. It’s art & literature, science and religion, and current events and conspiracy theories. Exploring our opinions and ideas through these lenses may seem daunting, but it's not as difficult to understand, once we unplug, detach, and step back from the issue. But it's a journey of discovery we'll go on together, Overthinking Everything! In this first season, Deconstructing A Culture of Cultism, I'm exploring not only the Origin of Idea, but attempting to explain how easily we are led down the path to cultism. I'd like this series to be an exercise in perspective and training the brain to think critically. CHANNEL DESCRIPTIONHi! Welcome to Josh Brandon Media! Thank you SO much for checking out my work!
