Managed Reality TM: Difference between revisions

'''Managed Reality™''' is a sociopolitical concept introduced by Eric Weinstein [https://x.com/ericrweinstein/status/1360254928929738756 thread on Twitter (now X)] on February 12, 2021, which describes a coordinated regime of information control, in which conformity to institutional narratives is enforced through both overt and subtle mechanisms. It affects science, journalism, policy, and public discourse by penalizing dissent, simulating consensus, and instructing experts and laypeople alike to "act as if" conflicting evidence does not exist. It contrasts with a free, decentralized information ecosystem by implying that reality itself is being managed, rather than discovered or openly debated. According to Weinstein, it is the defining epistemic crisis of the current institutional era.
