HyperNormalisation
"HyperNormalisation" is a term popularized by the documentary directed by Adam Curtis. It describes a state where complex realities are simplified into a distorted version of truth, making it easier for people to accept. This phenomenon often occurs in politics and media, where narratives are constructed to create a sense of stability, even if they are misleading.
The concept suggests that society becomes accustomed to these simplified narratives, leading to a collective acceptance of a false reality. As a result, individuals may feel disconnected from the actual complexities of the world, ultimately hindering genuine understanding and engagement with pressing issues.
