So, if I may state the obvious, it's theoretically possible then, that J.O.I. figured out a way with his optics expertise, to embed images in the Entertainment that so stimulated the pleasure centers of the brain, that the unwitting viewer of the cartridge, like those rats, were compelled by some continuous optic-trigger that empowered their limbic system to override all other survival mechanisms, and essentially made them stare at the T.V. until they died.
I don't think that's far fetched. What might the optic triggers of video games be, for instance, that will make a player play literally all day long, transfixed, statuesque, seemingly comatose, except for the rapid movement of their fingers, and blinking eyelids, before the television set?

>2 absurdeist: is there any evidence for an interactive component, as e.g. (like you say) video games? I ask because, never having found TV compelling, I do have to watch a certain tendency to spend a billion hours on the internet, or playing Civ 4, because of the tiny payoff, the dopamine rush or whatever, with each new revealing click. In that sense I wonder whether there might be some way to hit those hunter-gatherer centres without actually requiring an input from the subject?
