I’m still not seeing it, personally. While it’s important to understand other points of view, you don’t have to make yourself literally feel what another person feels about something to understand it. Even more importantly, you also don’t have to understand a point of view to respect it. I feel like your proposal doesn’t adequately distinguish the three.
Furthermore, regardless of the “point”, consuming popular entertainment is still the actual activity you’re suggesting.
(I’m not trying to say the people who like the idea are wrong, although I don’t think it’d be worthwhile for me.)
I feel like you didn’t read my post. The point is not entertainment.
It’s possible I’m experiencing selective blindness. What does your post say the point is, other than that it would be “useful”?
Well, what do you know. I didn’t really say. Post revised.
Thanks.
