There's No Narrative Like No Narrative

As promised, we follow up our prior episode on the forced retreat into the mental cave by explaining how the new social control scheme of no narrative at all is rapidly taking the place of the narrative/counter-narrative dichotomy that has been in place for nearly a century. Incapacitatingly stupid solutions are being supplanted by incapacitatingly stupid "noticing". All the wild opinions, conspiracies, and everything previously kept carefully outside the Overton Window - are now not just being allowed back in, but are being blasted at society like a bukkake fire hose - rendering people completely unable to function or organize due to total lack of agreement on the facts of reality itself.

If "God is dead" defined the 20th century, "consensus reality is dead" will define the 21st century.

As a bonus, you can hear out of touch with the kids Gen X'er Joel mix up Roblox and Discord.
