If anything they get stupider.

In one of the starkest illustrations of his corruption, the president wants to have next year’s G7 at Trump Doral.

The Price of Civilization, Jeffrey D. Sachs

Next book on my to-read list.

"America has become a media saturated society, the first in history. Our days are filled with on-screen work; then we spend hours at home each day glued to TV sets, DVD players, video games, Internet chat rooms, and Facebook pages, with the flood of electronic media trumping every other activity and form of social interaction. We are a technology-rich, advertising-fed, knowledge-poor society. The media networks and social networking outlets are owned and operated by enormous business conglomerates that are ever more closely aligned with the political system. The economic self-interest of these corporate giants, and the owners behind them, ensures a relentless stream of corporate messages, personalized advertisements, and deliberate scientific misinformation on subjects such as climate change." (pgs. 157-158)

The Romney Campaign spent one billion dollars on the last election. On one man "winning." And he lost.

 I know humans are very, very adaptive creatures but truly. . . what is the world coming to? We don't know, because media influence on this scale has never happened before in society. Media interaction now outnumbers any other type of interaction. People used to talk to people, and now we talk to screens.
