"Master, the truth about the Kung Fu television series?"
"But you know it yourself! It is excellent teaching of Tao/ Stoic wisdom, yet bungled by bad sound. It is a series that has to compete with other series on the 'Market', therefore gain, greed, is the purpose, saleability the criterion. There has been quite some studying behind it, though, not by scientists who abhor superstitions and mysticals. One find in it all the old superstitions like clairvoyance and oneiromantics (like Freud) but taken seriously. Then there is the automutilation, the willfully burning of the forearms that is decidedly contra Human Dignity."
"I am of the same opinion Master, but what would you say of the general use, the showing on t.v.?"
"For the reasons, mentioned, I am against showing it to the public. The valuable, they will not learn, they will not bother with the lessons that are often, not even understandable. They will only retain the hokum and balderdash, the bunk in it. On the other hand, it is excellent for showing to people like us, people who LIKE to 'Think, (ponder, muse etc. )."
