The mind obesity condition is like the food obesity phenomenon [see photo]. It you eat too much crap food your put on too much weight and this is not good for your general health. This obesity factor is difficult to overcome. It is the same thing with mind obesity but this has to do with the conscious state of a human not with his or her body shape.
The cause of mind obesity is crappy media. The media being consumed by most humans today is full of crap. It is full of ideology, propaganda, one think, stupidity, hubris, etc. And the more one consumes this media the more one craves it. We see this happening everyday as people walk along the street, stand in a train, drive a car, etc with one eye on the media they receive on their hand-held digital device.
One of the most exciting future industries which is currently in its infancy is organic media. That is media which is stripped on ideology, propaganda, one think, stupidity, hubris, etc. This is what I call organic media. This will prove to be an anti mind obesity product. Over the next thirty years media consumption will become an important measure of health, wealth, power, status, and happiness.
