In Neil Postman's book "Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business," he critiques how the public has become desensitized to the disarray in communication and information. He suggests that people have learned to accept the lack of coherence in discussions and media, often finding entertainment in the confusion rather than demanding clarity or substance.

This phenomenon leads to a society where serious discourse wanes, replaced by superficial entertainment. Postman argues that this shift has made individuals indifferent to important issues, as they prioritize amusement over meaningful engagement with the world around them.
