    The "postmodern schizophrenia" is related to a larger kind of "historical amnesia" or loss of history in consumer society. It suggests that forgetfulness about past experience, past policies and past knowledge is a dangerous condition. Frederic Jameson considers that television viewers in the postmodern time are often characterized victims in an epidemic of cultural amnesia for which television is both disease and carrier.
