There is an expectation that adults act like adults. I realize that is subjective. However it does require acceptance of reality. Reality is a bit questionable to some people. I suppose some think that movies like The Matrix depict reality. It doesnt , at least not yet. It doesn't seem like a potential future but I suppose anything is possible. Well not anything but at one time flying was considered impossible.
While it might be fun to imagine various futures and speculate about alternate history, adults are supposed to recognize reality. Unfortunately we seem to have people who have achieved the age of adulthood but who haven't achieved the mental capacity, or at least the ability to determine reality from fantasy.
Take the current fantasy that seems to live on about massive voter fraud in the last election. Outside of the normal precautions we had recounts and court challenges in most of the swing states that verified the results. Despite this a certain percentage still think there was fraud. This is a current trend, any result that doesn't confirm your belief is biased.
That means there is no way to determine reality. Unfortunately we see people question the moon landing, the mass shootings, the pandemic because they are all fraudulent.
Where are the adults?
