See it's funny how out of touch you are. You think there are "takes" on reality.
Nah, for me there is just reality. Then there is make believe for you.

See, how strange it seems to you that people could do "takes" on reality.
I think I realized, by the time I was five or six if not years before, that people don't see things alike.
For example, Jonah, who impressed me as a chess player some years ago, believes Trump is childish..... not that he does something childish once in a while, but that the characterization is generally valid in large measure.
Of course there is something self-existing about the universe and all the various kinds of things the happen..... that we do. or that we observe. And of course, even cows demonstrate a pretty good comprehension of that reality. Uncomplicated by philosophy or imagination.
See....... grass..... eat. And there's water here......
The question I was addressing was your level of interpretation of that reality..... the characterization you impose on the scene. Humans are distinguished from the animals by such considerations. There been a lot of people across the world throughout history who have had little use for sophistication and little need for much more to consider than the cows do. But we have always done it anyway, in spades.
The British higher education indoctrination would have us believe that they are the smart folks who know savages when they see them, and have perversely taught that they are entitled...... something akin to the Divine Right of Kings or even the noble right of prima nuptum as portrayed in Brave Heart...... to have their way.
Today's progressives and/or cartelists are intellectually characteristic as the same sort of presumptive arrogance. People like our Kicky are pretty smart, but rather than take the point I make, prefer to mock it and dismiss it. Kicky knows what he is doing.
I think you are like putty in the hands of persuasive people supported by a line of thought pervasively spread by our schools and media.
Like most peasants huddled under the Castle walls, there's a simple utility for paying homage to the King, and very strong incentives in terms of survival, even disincentives like starvation or prison or meager subsistence, for playing the smart mouth or agitator against the reality of your existence. Most people don't have the means or ability to question authority like that. They just resign themselves to what is, immediately, the circumstance of their lives.
I don't see Kicky's sort of intellect in you, but you make a fairly good sidekicky.
