Is Reality Just Entertainment?
Michael Hirschorn’s guest essay in the 9/13/2024 NYT makes me wonder whether those of us who still read the Times aren’t the ones living in a fantasy world. Trump, Hatch, Santos and other remarkably “unmoored” celebrities demonstrate how to succeed in the popularity sweepstakes by catering to the nearly half of people who think that only diversion from the awful truth is worthwhile.
But the truth is not awful. Hopefully, most of us will show in November that we choose to live in what we believe is the real world, which is not tethered to someone else's delusions.
