Do we live in the "society of the spectacle"? - Did I mean, "the circus"?
Do we live in a circus? - pardon me the serious circuses of the world. I meant the social circus, the show, the spectacle, the collective illusion, the disconnection with reality, the separation from being, the obsession with appearances. A world of circular thinking where illusions are more important than reality. Where the real world changes into simple images, the simple images become real beings and effective motivations of hypnotic behavior. Guy Debord, The Society of the Spectacle
