Your posts in this thread have been very helpful! thank you!
i have largely cut myself off from such media as well, only this is a new thing for me. I worry that some of the things I have seen through films, television, video games, etc, over my lifetime will haunt me forever! I worry that I will age and remember random horrific scenes from a movie or something, and forget that it isn't a real memory of my own.
Ever since I stopped...I've come to develop the opinion that the world will never be free until they cease poisoning our brains from cradle to grave...it's disgusting what capitalism has done with the help of media technology. we wonder why our friends and family are absolutely helpless in the face of modern media. it has warped all our brains, imo, and I wish that I had had the sense to try what you did earlier on.

i feel the same way, a lot.
in conversation, you could always fall back on your media experiences. So SO many people just talk about movies and music, games too.
also, did you know that when you read interesting things from interesting people, those interesting ideas become part of you? that's how I enjoy thinking of it. so if you read interesting things from interesting and obscure people, especially historical people, then you will have things to talk about (often very shocking things), and also become wise. In many ways, those experiences have become yours. that's what i tell myself, when i get sad about how little i've done with my life so far...
also refocusing your mindset. dont think about how interesting or uninteresting you might seem to the person you're talking to. think about how interesting THEY are!
that's disappointing, i have some books by him I wanted to read..but yeah, he lived through WWII, and I think it probably broke his heart.
they used... balloons, you say?
so true
