It seems that PM is philosophical by nature, but has a realist twist. The idea of the "HyperReal" a concept established by Jean Baudrillard, makes complete and utter sense. In fact, the rate at which this HyperReal phenomena is occurring, seems to be speeding up at an incomparable rate because of the Internet.
If an idea pops into your head, it takes Google 3 seconds to find it. And not only do you get what you were searching for, you get things you didn't even know you wanted to know. That's right!
Back in the day, like in Picasso's day, you were the source. If you wanted to know something or see something, you researched it, or painted it. There was no instant gratification was there?
I personally find myself getting overwhelmed really easily in this day and age because there is always some form of media bombardment in our daily lives. The second I wake up in the morning, 13 decisions flood my brain about the day. Instead of living reality as it comes, I live it through false "make believe" ideas in my mind, and then I'm disappointed when they don't come true.
I think I will finally take my parent's advice and "drink heavily," it's going to be a bumpy ride.
