A Conundrum - Answers Please
I want to invent a television that automatically switches channel to something else during commercial breaks. It doesn't have to be something special, maybe a music video.
Someone needs to invent this. Commercial breaks are far too often and far too long. It is mind destroying being subjected to this commercialism.
But there is a problem.
Supposing a person can design build and prepare such a beast for production - and let's face it, it can't be hard to do - how can it be promoted successfully without using the very structures it is designed to avoid?

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
