Topic: Hypothetical

Every movie, show, music, $art you experience, from now on, will be:

a) Exhilarating, fantastical, delightful momentary escape, but forgettable, leaving little impression.

-or-

b) labored and challenging, a haunting and frequent topic of meditation, persistent forever in your mind.



Which do you pick? Why?

Re: Hypothetical

Pshh. A, hands down. I can labor over politics and economics. I can be haunted by my failure to form lasting relationships. And I can meditate over ham sandwiches, which are persistent forever in my mind.

Plus, I'll always have the existing movies, right? I get to keep the movies that I've already experienced?

Warning: I'm probably rewriting this post as you read it.

Re: Hypothetical

I think all movies should be A. If I want deep and persistant, I'll read a book or watch a TV show.

Re: Hypothetical

Going to go for B here. A simply sounds like masturbation.
