One step worse than tunnel-vision reality.

This phrase is actually an oxymoron, of course, but in this day and age that doesn't stop it from existing.

In TeleReality, nothing is worth working on for a second sitting--if it isn't solved in the one, two, or three straight hours you've been dealing with it, fuck it. TeleReality has little or no patience for actors who try to step out of their roles--if you look like the geek, you'd damn well better act like it. Every single statement or action in TeleReality has a consequence less than a half hour away, so you don't have to worry about remembering things or correlating your past experiences. TeleReality is simple, so you don't have to worry about misinterpreting it or getting something wrong--the whole thing is specifically designed to lead your brain to the predetermined conclusion and none other. This in particular is a function people often wish real life came with: The guarantee that the whole world is adjusting to your IQ; doing its best to make sure you never have to be wrong. I mean, who, in the middle of an episode of Moesha, is morally confused about what Moesha should do?

TeleReality is the main tool of the Empire. It is there to make you used to surrendering your powers of thought and decision to an outside force. Let The Machine Think For You.
