You have to give Susan Sontag some credit, the inflection point in accelerating fakeness happened almost exactly when she complained about the collapse in seriousness in the mid-1990s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the scariest part of the story: Most of this is by design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our culture is now obsessed with deception and misdirection\u2014and it\u2019s not just on the movie screen anymore. You see it everywhere, from cosplay conventions to bands wearing masks to the misguided virtual reality mania. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lifestyles are increasingly about pretending. Your real self stays in hiding, while your fake self gets presented in the most spectacular way on social media and other digital platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Never before in history has authenticity been in such short supply. That\u2019s so much the case, that the very word authenticity<\/em> is mocked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
