Acharya Prashant explains that the media does not exist to deliver real news and truth to the public. Instead, he argues, the media's purpose is precisely to prevent the news and truth from reaching people. This is achieved by inundating the public with as much useless garbage as possible, keeping them bound in a state of intoxication. He describes this as a deep conspiracy to keep people sedated, because if their eyes were to open, the thrones of the few people at the top would be shaken. For these few to continue enjoying their billions and their power, it is essential that the public remains unconscious. He asserts that if people knew what was truly happening in the country, all thrones would be overturned. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent people from knowing the real issues. This is done by constantly feeding them the opium of entertainment. He questions the recent surge in comedy shows, suggesting they are not for providing happiness but for intoxication. He posits that the need to make people laugh so much arises from the high level of exploitation, and the very people being exploited are the ones being entertained. If the exploited were to stop laughing and become serious about their situation, a revolution would occur. The one whose blood is being sucked must be kept from revolting, and making them laugh is a way to achieve this. Acharya Prashant explains that seriousness concentrates power, unifying it at one point. In the intoxication of entertainment, this power is shattered and scattered like sand. He uses the analogy that when one becomes aware of their sad situation, their energy becomes like a stone that can break the glass of large palaces. However, this energy is not allowed to become a stone; it is turned into sand by making people laugh. He mentions that all kinds of intoxicants are used, and the media highlights useless but entertaining issues to distract from the serious ones. He advises people to question the media's motives, as there is always a vested interest. He concludes by stating that the public is being made a fool, and they should be angry about it.
