I
was looking at a couple of older articles lamenting an apparent loss of touch
with reality on a mass scale. They have titles like “The Age of Bubbles,”
“Welcome to the Age of Denial,” and the like. I thought for the sake of clarity and
precision, they could have used a more technical heading: “Welcome to The Age of
Subclinical Delusions.” Or perhaps of generalized “dissociation disorder.” Or just: “Welcome to the Matrix.”
