Selling A Toy Model of Reality

A speech by Tucker Carlson from 2018 has been making the rounds on the alt-media lately. The speech is a really good analysis of why Trump won in 2016. The whole speech is worth watching, but if you're pressed for time, the last few minutes make the most salient point, I think.

Today, there's an underlying orthodoxy in completely different fields of endeavor. For example, there's an official comedy, an official approach to sportsball, an official approach to sitting in an office and working on a computer, etc... The list goes on and on. The same thing happened just prior to the Reformation. There was an official way to be a blacksmith, a poet, a laundress, etc... Back then in western Europe the official way was the Catholic Church way, which happened to be a big, super corrupt business by then, and the official ways were really the ways that tied people into a patronage network.

The official way today is basically the inversion of the Catholic Church and its model of reality in the Reformation era. A disparate group of people are constantly proselytizing this toy model. Bill Nye, for example, who's just some rando dude with no credentials is like a priest of this system. They roll him out to talk about geology, physics, the science of butt pumping, trannies, or whatever. He's an official spokesman of whatever this current thing is. There are dozens more rich and famous people that just sell this model of reality--Satanism?--basically every celebrity does. The entire popular media, and almost every word printed by a publisher bolsters it.

As Carlson points out, the current model is breaking down, and the people in its patronage network are freaking out. Their hair is on fire.

The enlightenment really illustrates the weakness with the problem of living in a "toy model" consciousness. People went from one Matrix into another Matrix. Fulfilling the roles that are prescribed by a toy model isn't being human. A random Amish lady is much more human than Bill Nye.
