If fight promotions are fiction, then he’s an idiot for taking McGregor seriously. If they’re reality, his actions are more understandable. Fiction works when everyone is able to set aside the fact that it is not reality. In order for Booker to achieve success, the audience first needed to ignore his artificiality. The same is true of gotcha-style politics. But this month we finally reached the limit of treating politics like it’s fiction. However, the right sells fiction too. Yes, social media has turned America into a perpetual mob, but if used correctly we can create practices that reward communication behaviors we want to see in our leaders. In these ways we can stop rewarding Cory Booker-style freakishness and develop systems of communication that incentivize leaders to act like leaders. Let America’s leaders set a standard and then foist the responsibility on us.
