I, too, was waiting for details on what that sentence meant. For example, I have no idea what 'wide-eyed amazement of the Daily Show' means. Where and what is the amazement? And how passive TV viewing have any relationship to what we aspire or what we would achieve?
Sentences like that also made me hate poetry. Apparently there is some meaning there. But it requires me to speculate which no honest person should do. I don't like posts that require me to speculate, assume, or identify implications - which is why short posts are also so difficult to read. What exactly does that sentence mean and what is 'personal Gumpism'.
