True Enough

After reading the first 25 pages of True Enough, written by Farhad Manjoo, I find the book to be pretty interesting. One of the first arguments presented to the reader was a political based argument, and I instantly felt as though I was going to struggle reading this book. When I usually listen or read about political arguments I find that I become bored very easily. However, I did find the argument presented in the first chapter to be extremely interesting. I particularly enjoyed reading about the idea that reality is no longer a common fact. Everybody can have a different perception of what is real, and that perception is most often shaped by one's beliefs.
After thinking about the chapter I had read I felt as though I now have a reason for why I do not enjoy political arguments. It is not that I don't think they are beneficial, but if each person has a different perception of what is real it is difficult for these arguments to hold a meaningful purpose. It seems as though people are no longer interested in finding the facts, but they are more interested in making them fit into their own beliefs and ideals.
