Early
2014 will be viewed historically as the period when most of the
American left’s bubbles detached themselves completely from reality and
wafted off to Unicornland.
Everyone,
without exception, lives in a bubble, an area of individual
consciousness made up of education, experience, and worldview. These
bubbles naturally differ due to intelligence, lifestyle, and endless
other factors. An Einstein’s bubble may be nearly coterminous with the
walls of the universe itself; an imbecile’s may consist of little more
than regular meals, a warm place to sit, and the occasional kind word.
In
the modern era it has become fashionable to create and fully upholster
one’s own bubble out of the rag ends of various ideologies, fads, and
daydreams. To in effect attempt to establish an individual reality, more
often than not at odds with the world as it actually exists. Such
efforts quickly come up against individual limitations, both
intellectual and emotional, but that doesn’t seem to discourage people.
