I pointed out during Barack Obama’s first run for the Presidency, for example, that the Obama phenomenon was so perfect because his “message” was so vague, based primarily on empty slogans and catchwords such as “change” and “hope.” After eight years of George W. And no, we are not done with the debacle of 2016 (as many people anxiously desire) nor have we learned our lessons from that moment in the creation of social reality. I plan to develop these notions in much greater detail over time, but I found this meditation from six years ago just as potent for me now during the recent 2020 presidential race as it was in 2016. This is because we always live within the terms of realities that we ourselves create-even those meta-realities that allow us to speak about meta-realities, and so on.
