I don't think we have substituted one thing for the other (reality/symbols). Maybe more like writing (hard philosphical work and thought) by images and memes (which are easier to do, at the individual scale), by the sheer power of having mass-consumption and available technologies.
We're living in "leisure" societies, after all. Wasn't that what we wanted?
I guess we're transforming by the excess.

tribes communicated by means of symbols.
now communication itself is a symbol. and tribes only exist by the choice of communication.
are you a WoW communicator? a Myspacy communicator?
in other words, mass communication breeds new tribes instead of vice versa.
