L O S T, I finally get it.
It's not that the characters were all lost...












It's the VIEWERS who watched at home.

We're the ones who are LOST... GET IT?

2. I wasn't lost.
I figured out it was all a load of bullshit halfway through season one.

3. You are making a reversal.

Basically saying the story on the tube is the story of the person watching.

Or the viewer is lost not the the thing viewed being lost.

It would be like saying the bigger world is about an individual, a temptation to thoughts of ego but not uncommon. For example, it would be like saying that the duck with the tape not freed is actually a meaning of the individual looking at it, not the meaning from the poster. The poster does not duct tape the duck, but the watcher is in duct tape as a duck.


As far as things on tv, it is possible to effect that, or at least create an illusion of effect possibly with correlation without causation, it is also possible to create reverse correlation without causation, just seen that again recently.

However something being on TV does not mean anything without it also existing in reality, and limitations in real life that make it difficult to confirm or disprove TV reality makes much of it irrelevant.

Basically the sheer number of anomalies and the lack of secondary effects that should transfer over to reality makes both the online and TV worlds as seen either filtered, illusion, or gravely unjust, which creates questions of reality, and arguments of defensibility of existence.

However I think many of the people on tv are great, so the comment is not about them.

On a side note, in 2003 or 2004 I made a post, it was talking about the show survivor, and I commented about what would happen if people were trapped on an island and the show should be about them working together, thinking they would not fight each other but work together, and if one person did horde everything what would everyone else do, a few weeks later that show lost started with some of those plot lines :shrug:

I posted this in another post, but it is relevant in this thread as something to avoid.

The concept of not going to that side of preception.

4. So, you're saying that you get everything?
I bow to your superior brain power.
