So... dumb as rock it is then?

  Yes, I said that was obvious. Postman makes an excellent case that that's what happens when you reduce public discourse to entertainment. Don't get complacent; the process producing European leaders like Putin, Zelenskyy, Orban, Meloni, and Erdoǧan is no better, nor other American leaders like Lula or Maduro, nor Modi. And, although Xi's path to power doesn't depend on how relatable his stories are about how he had difficulty climbing into a garbage truck, that process is flawed in other ways that are likely worse.
