Reply #27: I probably should have mentioned this [View All]

I haven't owned a television in over a decade and in the past 30 years (from the time I was 20) I've lived in a house that had a television for maybe a total of 10 years.
So I have a particular take on the limitations of getting anything from television images.
For me the foundation of television is that it is (at least in its American manifestation)primarily a propaganda and brainwashing tool. Thus my skepticism about really being able to discover anything particularly deep or significant about the psychology of the talking heads from examining them on television.

I know stuff about body language and nonverbal communication but that's a different subject. Body language and non-verbal communication can tell you that someone is lying but not why they are lying or what their deeper motivations are -- which is the reasoning given previously.
