The creation of pretend reality is on one side of the screen of life. It would have never come into existence without the demand for it. This is more frightening. It proves how far from “real” life our population is.
The worship of fake events appearing real (aka “fear”) is astounding. As if we were so disappointed with the reality. So much that we need to compensate this emptiness with fake emotions created in a fake context in a fake reaction to fake events. It’s way beyond the “safe and effective” campaign. Or the other way round, the SF campaign could be authorized as potentially successful because the target population prefers sitcoms and staged happenings over real life.
Still, your presentation of kayfabe opens a new layer of this game. It’s like a team of professional psychologists after a brainstorm comes up with a comprehensive recipe on another method how to help people deceive themselves more. They don’t need to anything, we will transfer a sports fake to other walks of life ourselves. Since kayfabe damage is fake (harmless, staged, non-real), we won’t recognize harm as real in a new context right away - and that buffer of months or years is a great gift to launch another level of the same manipulation. In the medical context we see it now as the active promotion of mRNA as a model for all injections.
This proves how far Western "Civilization" has fallen. Perhaps most of civilization?
Life itself has become so featureless and mundane that we thrive on an all encompassing manufactured reality.
I don't know very much. I don't know: Where I am, What I am, or why I'm here?????
I cling to "scientific anchors like Euclidean Geometry and Newtonian Physics and to observable phenomenon such as Trees and Sunlight, to keep me sane.
The erudite musings of people like Weinstien, Peterson, Jung, and Plato, seem to be manufactured Fluff. Distractions from my enjoyment of Real life.....But then, I'm not intelligent!
The observable (i.e. tangible, external to the mind) reality is the manifestation of something else. As with a human body: it is moving for some time, and then, one day, suddenly, it stops moving and we don’t have any “technology” to make it move again. Which is logical proof of the existence of that “something else”. We don’t even know what it is. For lack of a better word, we sometimes refer to it as “energy”, which also is not a defined “something”, merely an attribute to make communication easier.
The same goes for love, like the romantic attraction between two persons. We don’t know what it is. We tried to explain it with hormones, then pheromones, than instincts, but all this is again assigning attributes, external markings on something that we cannot get hold in any way. Discouraged, unable to pinpoint it, we destroyed the concept by using the original word in the original meaning to describe other behaviors (different “types” of love) and even material objects. Insane.
No wonder that people have always tried to approach that unknowable something from various angles. Religion and philosophy being the most obvious disciplines. Esoteric and occult paths being a slightly more elusive ones. It all seems to be an attempt to find that secret key that opens the deeper meanings of what we experience every day.
It is a very interesting issue. If there is the end (of life, world), what is beyond this end? If it is endless, how is it possible? If I am here for xx years, where was I before? What next? These are legitimate signs of the unknowable search of every one of us. Some express it, some keep it to themselves, some try to not touch the subject. But the subject is, was and will be.
You are correct. However, it should be left as intellectual speculation, an amusement for idle moments; not an all-consuming obsession, and certainly not a 'Tenured employment.
It is far from amusement, and not an obsession. Its value cannot be underestimated when you make an observation, drape it in a few ornaments, patch it up with some fancy words, and release to the world as a new concept. Sooner or later will you be invited for interviews, lectures, and voila you can create a new source of income streams for yourself and others. No small game. Darwin did it, Newton did it, Einstein did it, and we we have a mass formation psychosis. Nicely criticized by classic psychologists, but who cares. The ball is rolling. Not an amusement any more.
It is said one of Budda's greatest lessons involved staring at a flower for hours. One of his followers burst out laughing. Budda exclaimed something like this was the only student who 'got it'.
