 Society where young people are turning away from television

From a spiritual perspective, the societal trend of young people moving away from television reveals certain insights.

From a general standpoint, with the spread of the internet, information is abundant, and there is no longer a need to rely solely on television to receive it.

Due to the diversity of values, perspectives are dispersed, and if information reflecting those values is available online, there is little necessity to be glued to the TV.

In the Showa era, television was the primary source of information, and not watching it could mean falling behind in conversations with others.

Back then, fights over the remote control were common, but in the present day, such struggles have largely disappeared.

From a spiritual perspective, the societal trend of young people moving away from television can reveal certain deeper meanings.

Spiritually, it is said that the overall energy of the Earth is gradually shifting from a male-dominant energy to a female-dominant energy.

This shift is not like a black-and-white switch that changes abruptly, but rather a gradual process, similar to the relationship between the sun and the moon, influencing the Earth as a whole, regardless of gender.

The female-dominant energy is still in its early stages. The mental energy of young women is prone to expressing opposing emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and this can manifest in society as polarization, contradictions, inconsistent decisions, or waves of change.

Men tend to restrain and control their mental energy, which often makes both mind and body rigid, whereas women tend to release and channel their mental energy outward, making their mind and body more flexible.

Since things change more easily when they are flexible rather than rigid, the era we are entering is one of rapid change, driven by female-dominant energy.

Male-dominant energy tends to place value on visible, material things, while female-dominant energy tends to value the invisible, inner world.

Although not absolute, many publicly broadcast programs are often created by people with male-dominant energy values.

One way to interpret this is that in Japan, the older population is larger than the younger population, so programs tend to be designed for the older audience, considering ratings.

As a result, there are fewer programs that appeal to young people, which may explain why young people are moving away from television.

Another perspective is that social connections are shifting from vertical hierarchies to stronger horizontal networks. In the past, society was like a layered apartment building, with each layer having its own values. These values were not well represented in mainstream television, which may also contribute to young people tuning out.

In the Showa era, television was a precious resource, providing valuable information.

Today's youth, however, have grown up with the internet, which functions almost like the radio did in the Showa era. As a result, television itself may inherently hold lower value for them.

Some modern televisions are even specialized for internet content, suggesting that traditional broadcast TV may eventually reach its end.

As the popularity of celebrities declines and new forms of entertainment emerge, we may be witnessing a significant turning point in the cultural landscape.
