I experience escapism through everything
From following the Ukraine war to reading about WW2 or the Napoleonic Wars or the lives of kings and emperors, it's all escapism i.e a way for me to get engrossed in what is essentially another world in which my own problems are not present

Nope! If escapism didnt exist people would spend all day fixing problems. Economic problems, government problems, local community problems. No entertainment. Just clean and maintain everything within reach.

french society was built on religion. comte was a catholic himself until his 20s i believe, and of course knew the importance of having a tradition of beliefs.
the difference is his religion was rational, you know clearly what the quote i posted of him meant
