I think you misunderstand my point that there is no such framework. There used to be religion, tyranny, and some other fulfilling frameworks, but those no longer apply.
I don't know, certainly seems like this is one that's currently on offer: that the benevolent octogenarians (and you even get to pick one of two!) are all-knowing, and if you disagree, or think your experience doesn't match the story in the media - then you are wrong (and also an uneducated boob and should feel bad). This is a kind of religion - the aristocracy knows best.
