I think entertainment has its place, but it's a place, not as all-encompassing as our culture makes it.
I am unsure on what makes you think it is all encompassing. Personally, I don't see people being consumed by the discussion about what happened at the Oscars to the event that they ignore everything else.
Again, we can agree to disagree.
There is nothing to disagree on Within your sphere of information, it may truly be the case that all the attention is on this topic and nobody is paying attention to other events. I don't have to disagree with you that YOU feel that this topic is all encompassing.
All I said is that I don't see the same thing happening from my perspective. I see a lot more attention being paid to on the economy, inflation, the war in Ukraine etc than this topic. Unless you are making a statement on what topics I personally see being focused on within my personal sphere of news and information, we don't have a disagreement.
