I'm excited to watch the JBP-Žižek thing. I want to be angry at myself for that but I'm just not. I want the insipid resolution of a boxing match.
In the Medium Is the Massage sense, I get to see all of the fuckery now. At a level much grander than myself, impossible for me to individually affect in any way. Meanwhile, my sense of local atrophies. Like you put it, fiction becomes important. At least I get a complete arc.

I feel like the relief that fiction provides is almost less about that complete arc and more about a finite and bounded slice of reality within which to disappear for a while. It feels nice to have a 'local', in so many different ways.
