Poltergeist or strange phenomena (For English speaking people)


In Spain you change the title of movies because in English (most come from Hollywood) the direct translation means nothing original. Question of mentalities.
This time the title is is used for my reflection, because I'm not sure if watching TV is a strange phenomenon. I mean the Spanish TV
And see it with an ipad? What if the one with the ipad is a teenager? What if the teenager is an intellectual phenomenon in his school? Are we able to assimilate so much?
Well , the gifted one , yes. And I do not mean any other gifted that the intellectual one.
Lucky ones, guys like Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, inhabitants of that land, now beset by debt and inept politicians. How happy were those three, who did not play in any football team or had TV. One of them said: " The ignorant says, the wise doubt and reflect ".
Can you think, and doubting, even as a highly gifted person, handling TV, ipad and iphone? Do not rule it out. What is important, essential, it is that capturing such information the individual is capable of generating the doubt that begins wisdom. If you watch TV and do not ask yourself why, it is bad business. 
The society of the Greece of Solon and later committed many atrocities, there were gays( apparently a lot) and they did not talk too much about it, there was no TV. Even Solon came with the idea that it was too much of injustices from the powerful people and the law was necessary for good governance, with the participation of the citizens.
They gifted minds seeking the wisdom I'd like to see them in this century. And Alejandro (before being the Great) and his friends going to the classes of the old Aristotle with an ipad.
Then they would say the old Ari that on TV also you can watch movies. An art that the ancient Greeks did not invent, one of the few things they did not invent or write about. Surely they would show him any movie of Marx Brothers and Groucho would say " I find television very educational. Any time someone turns it on, I retire to another room and read a book "
Aristotle would not understand anything, even with subtitles.His students will explain to him what is TV, movies and a book from the ipad. And he would say "this is a very funny mustache fellow, looks like Pyrrho, the philosopher, although he knows more what he wants."
Keep your spirits up.
