>> read-only devices like TV and newspapers

Their beauty is not only in their read-only nature, but also in the fact that their number and content can be controlled.

Losing control of the narrative means the end of the narrative.

In our case, the concept of centralized power is dying, because the tales that justify it are dying in unwatched TV programs and unread newspapers.

Unfortunately, their dying will take some time.

Fortunately, any measure taken to save a dying narrative hasten its end.
