Your view of reality as “created by agreement” is not mine. Sorry, I’ll just have to call it like I see it, not how I’d like it to be.
“Your view of reality as “created by agreement” is not mine.”
That’s cool, but consider this: in an election, the candidate who draws the greatest amount of agreement amongst the voters, wins. Group agreement put that candidate in office, and thus created a new reality.
Another example: A production company puts out a film that becomes a blockbuster hit because so many moviegoers agree that it’s immensely entertaining. Group agreement created the reality that that film is a hit.
One more: Media and Academia collude to dumb down the population, and carefully indoctrinates them with a worldview that runs counter to the founding precepts of their nation, and the very roots of their ancient culture. Over time, the aggregate agreement of these dumbed down people results in a very real undermining of the foundational institutions and cultural norms which once supported and gave strength to that nation and its people. A new reality gradually supplants the old reality, because group agreement now says it shall.
I guarantee you, if the vast majority of Americans (both inside and outside of government) agreed that Hillary Clinton would face sure justice for the crimes she’s guilty of, she wouldn’t have a hope of walking away from this.
