Modern news tv. It gives the masses visions of the world that have little to do with reality, it goes on interminably, and people feel more in tune with "reality" after consumption.

It's helpful to be aware of the wider world, much like it's helpful to realize the chemical nature of consciousness. If you take it too seriously, you start believing in Trump's pee tape/terrorist immigrant caravans, in the same way some people believe in mechanical elves or whatever.
