More From Lena Dunham

People have romantic notions about television. in the highest realms they think it's some sort of art medium, and it's not. others think it's an entertainment medium, it's not that either. it's an advertising medium. it's a method to deliver advertising like a cigarette is a method to deliver nicotine.
Art Thinking People
They say that theater is the actor's medium, television is the writer's medium and film is the director's medium, and it's really true.

I seriously consider television to be the people's medium. like the idea of seeing your parents naked or having somebody go down on you and worrying about whether you smell, or worrying about whether your body is weird or what goes across the face of a person who's supposed to be experiencing pleasure but isn't - those are things i'd love to normalize on tv.

My advice to people today is as follows: if you take the game of life seriously, if you take your nervous system seriously, if you take your sense organs seriously, if you take the energy process seriously, you must turn on, tune in, and drop out.

We are dealing with the best-educated generation in history. but they've got a brain dressed up with nowhere to go. science is all metaphor. in the information age, you don't teach philosophy as they did after feudalism. you perform it. if aristotle were alive today he'd have a talk show. if you don't like what you are doing, you can always pick up your needle and move to another groove. if you take the game of life seriously, if you take your nervous system seriously, if you take your sense organs seriously, if you take the energy process seriously, you must turn on, tune in, and drop out.

Television is perhaps the greatest medium ever discovered to teach and educate and even to entertain. but the filth, the rot, the violence, and the profanity that spew from television screens into our homes is deplorable. it is a sad commentary on our society. the fact that a television set is on six or seven hours every day in most of the homes of america says something of tremendous importance.

Fighting hard to protect yourself and your relatives is good for your genes, but when captured and escape is not possible, giving up short of dying and making the best you can of the new situation is also good for your genes.
Family Giving Up Home
Traveling is a fool's paradise. our first journeys discover to us the indifference of places. at home i dream that at naples, at rome, i can be intoxicated with beauty, and lose my sadness. i pack my trunk, embrace my friends, embark on the sea, and at last wake up in naples, and there beside me is the stern fact, the sad self, unrelenting, identical, that i fled from. i seek the vatican, and the palaces. i affect to be intoxicated with sights and suggestions, but i am not intoxicated. my giant goes with me wherever i go.
Dream Sadness Home
Men may be very learned, and yet very miserable; it is easy to be a deep geometrician, or a sublime astronomer, but very difficult to be a good man. i esteem, therefore, the traveller who instructs the heart, but despise him who only indulges the imagination. a man who leaves home to mend himself and others, is a philosopher; but he who goes from country to country, guided by the blind impulse of curiosity, is only a vagabond.
Country Home Heart
And he who gives a child a treat makes joy-bells ring in heaven's street, and he who gives a child a home builds palaces in kingdom come, and she who gives a baby birth brings saviour christ again to earth.
