Thank you for sharing this introduction to St. Thomas Aquinas. I have been looking at Summa Theologiae, it is rather weighty, so perhaps something that will ease me into reading it will be helpful. I have been meaning to look at Chesterton for a while anyway.
On your reflection on Thomism, I agree completely. In the pursuit of the hyperrealism of the digital world and the constant game of symbols and meanings, to see the world for what it is, no more or less, we gain invaluable perspective. Where ends and goals are disguised behind optics of media, looking at the world in the light of day we see the injury done to us as we neglect the real here and now and let others dictate our physical lives.

We live in a strange world; blasted by the most advanced propaganda tools developed in human history at all times.
