Any books that attempt to explain our escapist aesthetic aversion to reality?

Amusing ourselves to death
The geography of nowhere
Seeing like a state
The total state
Leviathan and its enemies

We are adverse to reality because
1. The apparent outside reality that people confuse for reality is sterile fabrication by the managerial bureaucratic elites which is emergent out of the incentive structures of their group.
2. We all all weak and brainwashed, keeping ourselves distracted with idealized fictions. We cannot see the both beautiful and meaningful and terrifying reality beyond the illusion created by the managerial class and the modernist worldview. We think their illusion is reality and so we fall into escapism as a means of coping.

>Girlfailure is cute and tongue in cheek, meant to basically be a harmless collection of tropes rolled up into a single theoretical person
>Boyfailure is just a spiteful repetition of those tropes applied to the opposite gender in an attempt to "own" the creepy incels who want a cute homely gf
>Girlfailure isn't even implied to be genetically gifted beyond the big boobs, meanwhile the boyfailure very clearly has ubermensch genes
Worst of all is that the artist can't even draw an idealized man without feeding into Hitler youth stereotypes, ironic or not

More messianic cope. Fuck off.

The reality we see is not the real reality. We see it through the lens of our own failures and shortcomings. We see people put up these false images of themselves where they always seem to be super attractive and successful and happy and they have all this free time and enjoy every moment of life. But we all know that's a lie. Facebook, Twitter, tiktok, all this social media garbage has done so much damage to the human psyche by allowing people to put up a facade and other people see it as the truth. Since we see ourselves as being incapable of reaching that same level of success we decide that it might be better just to escape this reality altogether. The simple fact is we need to stop judging our own lives against others and judge our worth based on Its own merits.

Based and agree 100%.

Also like 90% of status is ephemeral, useless or even harmful. Chase power, not status. The two are not the same.

I wish twitter screencaps were punishable with death by boiling IRL

>People aren't blank slates
Yes they are. Otherwise different cultures wouldn't exist.

We must view everything through an idealized lens, lest reality make us uncomfortable.

You can't seriously mean that and not be trolling.
