| Founder(s) | Richard Heinberg |
| Probably coined by Richard Heinberg, this phrase indicates a collective agreement not to let objective reality (such as the finite nature of fossil fuels or mendacious behaviour of particular individuals) to impinge on a shared belief system, generally more or less in agreement with the official narrative. | |
This is a counterpart to the "Ruling Group Mind"[clarification needed]. The term was coined by Richard Heinberg in his writings about 9/11 and Peak Oil. He in turn probably adapted it from Robert Anton Wilson's notion of "Consensus Reality". It refers to the psychology that requires the (possibly tacit) acceptance of the "Official Narrative" through the sub-conscious blocking out of unpleasant and unpalatable truths about the world, ones country, society, beliefe system etc., in order to get through the day and concentrate on ones job and the necessary routines of life.
