Solitude, Socrates, and Censorship or: How to Be a True-Man

The Truman Show is about you. <p>It's about how you deal with the pursuit of truth in a world with a long history of killing the messenger. </p> <p>It's about how you deal with suffering, whether you choose the stagnant suffering of avoiding risk or the meaningful suffering that comes from accepting it. </p> <p>Even though this movie came out before social media and reality TV, it's about how you deal with being you when 15-minute fame and public personas are the norm. </p> The Truman Show is ultimately about the freedom required to become yourself—a True-Man—and the cost of freedom that many can't bear to pay. <p> </p> <p>◬ <a href='https://www.instagram.com/salomesibonex/'>Salomé Sibonex</a> and <a href='https://www.instagram.com/justinawblair/'>Justin A.W.
