two and three
The Secondary Life is not something that comes over time through experience. It is not something we get from reading a good book; that requires an investment in time and energy. No, The Secondary Life is based in mult-media transmissions. Through television, movies, and the internet we find our minds traveling off to the ficticious distance. The immediacy of media influence does much more than entertain us and influence us to buy things. It takes us to the place where we walk among the stars in situations they portray. We make comparisons to the fiction and feel either better or worse as a result. Some of us prefer to feel worse than others dictated by the kinds of programming they prefer. In time, this type of preference overrides the primary life that is based in reality. LLc 98.2
