Yay Pisces!
The intergalactic transmissions coming through your ruler, Neptune are opening up a higher morality which you may easily convey through your capacity to articulate the one wholistic vision for humanity.
“In America, everyone is entitled to an opinion, and it is certainly useful to have a few when a pollster shows up. But these are opinions of a quite different order from eighteenth- nineteenth-twentieth century opinions.
~ Neil Postman (March 8, 1931 – October 5, 2003), Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business (1985)
It is probably more accurate to call them emotions rather than opinions, which would account for the fact that they change from week to week, as the pollsters tell us. What is happening here is that television is altering the meaning of ‘being informed’ by creating a species of information that might properly be called disinformation. I am using this word almost in the precise sense in which it is used by spies in the CIA or the Kremlin.
Disinformation does not mean false information. It means misleading information–misplace, irrelevant, fragmented or superficial information–information that creates the illusion of knowing something but which in fact leads one away from knowing.
In saying this, I do not mean to imply that television news deliberately aims to deprive Americans of a coherent, contextual understanding of their world. I mean to say that when the news is packaged as entertainment, that is the inevitable result. And in saying that the television news show entertains but does not inform, I am saying something far more serious than that we are being deprived of authentic information. I am saying we are losing our sense of what it means to be well informed.
Ignorance is always correctable. But what shall we do if we take ignorance to be knowledge?”
TAURUS
Looks like you’re going to hold the fort for the team. Uranus in your sign literally means you’re fully fixing to put your foot down on any more of this nonsense, formulating a fiery little temperament to eschew any media antics and all its crazy gadgetry.
You may not be first to draw a line in the sand about how much of nature’s yummy goodness you’re willing to let go but you, out of everyone, are prepared to get down in the trenches and hold that line. Woe to those who dare cross you, especially after Mars finally moves into your sign and activates Uranus in late January 2021…
