Terence McKenna the internet

We have millions of people who are warehoused in almost a larval state in their apartments, watching tv, paying for their medical plans, and glued to this mindless opera of cultural decay that's recited day after day in front of them. I mean, it's horrible to imagine -- and this is a creation to some degree of the world corporate state, that probably has to be addressed. 
- Terence McKenna, The Internet is the Cure for TV (1994)
