Newspaper

A newspaper is an object comprised of a collection of thin, flat sheets of wood material covered in inky symbols which when read by a subject able to decode these symbols creates an inane, false sense of reality in the mind of the subject, & this is the object of the object of a newspaper, which some may find objective due to the object of an object of a newspaper being fatal to a true sense of objective reality in the mind of a subject within which, in truth, this objective reality exists, & which in turn exists within this objective reality. Newspapers also contain pictures.

I decode The Irish Times and The Guardian most days. Of course, I am fully aware that I am being lied to but I'm quite content to go along with these lies so long as everyone else does too (give or take). And I like the pictures too.

Ah but as Nietzsche wrote, "Where the rabble drinks, all wells are poisoned." He had another great line something like, "One must be a sea to be able to receive a polluted stream without becoming unclean." Or as Nietzsche's older, wiser brother, Jesus said, "Wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and/ many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." It tends not to be found in newspapers, Though back to Nietzsche...he has a line, "They vomit out bile & call it a newspaper." Might be a bit simplistic in terms of particulars but in the very broad sense it probably is more or less true.
