I watch the show regularly during the cold Boston winter evenings and especially enjoy the qualifying rounds to make it to Hollywood when the stars and idiots present themselves. Sometimes I wonder if this is just a ploy to get viewership up; nobody can be so out of tune and expect to be a star - what do you think?
In any case, I am convinced that the American Zeitgeist is the real thing and that the messages that I receive from the universe on a daily basis is not just randomness disguised in spiritual clothes. I hope my studies and my profession have trained me sufficiently to distinguish the two, but in the end who knows. I recommend a great book on the subject, Fooled by Randomness, by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. Did you know that if you put an infinite amount of monkeys in front of a computer, one monkey will end up writing the Bible? A scary thought, perhaps I am just an incredibly lucky monkey!?!
Many of us have the American dream of being in-tune with the divine Tao, of having the opportunity to share our enthusiasm and insights with others, of participating in many spiritual discussion and perhaps even earning some money this way. Well, let the new season begin!
