Among the sense-making classes, as well as the duty to offer plausible models and descriptions of reality, there is a corresponding pressure to leave certain (less ideologically congenial) things undescribed, undefined, and unacknowledged. That work is left to others who lack the sense-makers’ descriptive authority. A kind of epistemic polarisation takes place, a bifurcating of perceived realities. If the sense-makers’ descriptive boycott is consistent enough, the very fact that acknowledgement is being carried out by “unlicensed describers” will discredit whatever is being described. It will end up firmly in the category of rejected or stigmatised knowledge, the set of things that only “those people” would be foolish enough to believe. Whole neighbourhoods of reality blur out into a kind of descriptive static, off limits for “respectable” sensing.
