“Reality A and Reality B” by Haruki Murakami in the New York Times, from back in November 2010. Seems just as true today as it did back then — maybe more so. From the article:
Let’s call the world we actually have now Reality A and the world that we might have had if 9/11 had never happened Reality B. Then we can’t help but notice that the world of Reality B appears to be realer and more rational than the world of Reality A. To put it in different terms, we are living a world that has an even lower level of reality than the unreal world. What can we possibly call this if not “chaos”?”
