When you’re young, you look at television and think, There’s a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize that’s not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want. That’s a far more depressing thought. Conspiracy is optimistic! You can shoot the bastards! We can have a revolution! But the networks are really in business to give people what they want. It’s the truth.

“Every text, every call, every transmission on a Google device, including photos etc. recorded and posted and assimulated into an adjunct-joint internet personality with every use of any offered product.. That’s a bit rich to say “..It’s giving people what they want.” And don’t drag Jobs into it. Steve Jobs died just prior to a new CEO and after he signed in with Google. An oddity, but builds on conspiracy.”
