TV is not vulgar and prurient and dumb because the people who compose the audience are vulgar and dumb. Television is the way it is simply because people tend to be extremely similar in their vulgar and prurient and dumb interests and wildly different in their refined and aesthetic and noble interests.

(David Foster Wallace)

"...at times the shock presents as an imploding clock -
a Dali-esque reminder that if we invented Time (and

and truer to the prurient experience of ogling Eternity:
close enough for us to sense its meat."
