Well really a subplot of my true favorite reality show that is this forum.

Which is a subplot of the reality show that is my life.

... Is all of human existence a reality show for some advanced culture? Would that indicate that the true measure of advancement of a society is the complexity of their d-rate entertainment?


I predict OP or some other first poster will show up within the next 24 hours with a link to some BS page and they will both be banned shortly thereafter. I'm psycho---Err psychic.

Spambot aside, I’ve never gravitated toward television, but I did used to enjoy BBC TopGear. These days I just listen to Timeline and PBS documentaries while I work. Ian of Forgotten Weapons is really good about putting out daily new content as well.

I don't listen to Timeline but have watched one of their video's before going to sleep pretty much every night for the last 6 months. I just let whatever is next in the que play. The subject matter can vary wildly but I have learned a lot about subjects I had no idea I was ever even interested in.
The only ones I skip is when it is a Time Team episode since I have watched all those at least twice anyway.

Same! I learn new things every day, and often re-learn things that I didn’t fully understand the first time. Impossible for me to retain everything right away. Some are very detail-sense, and I’m not gifted with names and dates.
