TaggartMy daughter is big into space shuttles and astronauts right now, so I went to YouTube for videos of ISS EVAs. Of the first ten results, only one was a real video of ISS EVA activity; the rest were slop.
We have achieved hyperreality, and I don't know how we recover.

TaggartMost here understand, but perhaps do not yet fully practice, the extreme levels of scrutiny required for all forms of media now. The level of deception goes beyond anything we've known before, both in quality and in quantity. There is as much unreal as real presented to media consumers. That scale will flip soon, if it hasn't already.
And what do we do when the shared fabric of reality, made entirely of language and meaning, is stained through with slop?
This is why I will not simply accept this cancerous invention.
