Do Not Think, Do.

Postman is trying to embolden the need to not conform to modern ways of thinking. We must learn to think thoroughly and cleverly or else we may also fall into the media's trap. Entertainment is becoming more than entertainment; it has started to shape and form our culture and politics. Postman references Brave New World as an example for not being able to comprehend one's actions as a result of entertainment. He states that the poeple did not know why they were laughing and why they stopped thinking. This fear is relevant to Postman's fears; a society ruled by entertainment.
