The Dose of Reality articles were the bulk of the website – in 4 years I’d written almost 100 of them on a lot of different topics but one very common theme: Daily life needs a dose of reality.  Modern life suffers from an insular layer of illusion; sometimes we need a Dose of something to bring us back.  In four years, I’ve written 97 Doses of Reality.  Some were better than others.  For your consideration, here are 43 that I thought were the best of what I’ve written.
