Television. Let's talk about television.

Where I'm from, there's all sorts of interactive programming. It's quite...addicting for some. Housewives and the like. They can [Forgive his little chuckle here] play out whatever they want, as long as it's in the script and they don't have to think too hard ( Read more... )

Watch here or prior to the Barge? [Answer: CREEPY SURVEILLANCE VIDEOS.]

happinessboys July 4 2011, 16:00:45 UTC

[WHY SO CREEPY, REX?]

Either one would be enough. Prior to the barge would be more informative. Though, I could ask why you changed.

stopthat_destro July 4 2011, 16:07:47 UTC

[BECAUSE SCIENCE.]

I didn't watch television much prior to the Barge. [Movies, on the other hand...] I was busy, and nothing was particularly engaging.

...

But sometimes I would have my assistants record documentaries for me. [I've decided that Rex likes Animal Planet.]

happinessboys July 4 2011, 16:11:49 UTC

Ah. A documentary seems a...relatively safe genre. At least for television. Any specifics?

stopthat_destro July 4 2011, 16:18:56 UTC

Safe in what sense? There are some who would argue that knowledge isn't safe.

Nova! [Said with some happy excitement.] And... animal behavior documentaries, particularly those focused on predators or herpetology.

[Well, that sounds pretty useless to him so...he's fine with it!]

It depends on the knowledge.

stopthat_destro July 4 2011, 16:24:03 UTC

[Nova's not useless, jerk!]

Knowledge gleaned from television is rarely dangerous, I suppose. And certainly not knowledge tailored for the lowest common denominator. I prefer to get mine from experience, books, academic journals...

happinessboys July 4 2011, 16:25:30 UTC

[Oh so condescending:] I'm sure that you do.

stopthat_destro July 4 2011, 16:31:17 UTC

One can hardly be a successful scientist otherwise.

happinessboys July 4 2011, 16:35:37 UTC

And have you found yourself happy with science?

stopthat_destro July 4 2011, 16:39:37 UTC

Very.

happinessboys July 4 2011, 16:44:43 UTC

Then I suppose it's not entirely useless.

stopthat_destro July 4 2011, 16:49:19 UTC

Science is never useless. You wouldn't even have television without it.

happinessboys July 4 2011, 16:50:04 UTC

Not all science is useless.

stopthat_destro July 4 2011, 16:51:59 UTC

What would you consider useless?

happinessboys July 4 2011, 16:52:36 UTC

[Chuckle.] Everything you just mentioned.
