I find it unusually difficult to locate entertainment that isn't completely laced with demonic filth. It's like they force it to be in there somewhere. This is of course a hyperbolic statement and there is nuance to everything, but overall, say I want to watch something on Netflix... I spend almost 30 minutes wading through murder! murder! sex! drugs! kidnapping! terrorists! planetary destruction! alien invasion! before I finally land on something really dank and original, if ever.

Its the same with music... the same topics of partying, fucking & dumping, boasting one's ego and shitting on the competition... I sit back and laugh at how utterly devoid the devil is of anything worth while. But it also makes me sad. I've rewatched the Star Treks, Dresden Files, 2010 Merlin, considering rewatching Stargate SG1... there's some good scifi out there but the modern stuff seems more like mere excuses, fresh vectors through which to display graphic violence and degeneracy.

"What's the most scifi futuristic way we can horrify, torture and kill this man?" said the modern writer in his wicked heart...

I'll see your Epicurus and raise you a CS Lewis-

"If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.

If you think of this world as a place simply intended for our happiness, you find it quite intolerable: think of it as a place for training and correction and it's not so bad.

If you read history, you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next.

There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.

The Christian is in a different position from other people who are trying to be good. They hope, by being good, to please God if there is one; or — if they think there is not — at least they hope to deserve approval from good men. But the Christian thinks any good he does comes from the Christ-life inside him. He does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us; just as the roof of a greenhouse does not attract the sun because it is bright, but becomes bright because the sun shines on it.

It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree helping each other to one or the other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all of our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations - these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit - immortal horrors or everlasting splendors.
