“I don’t like this whole talk of ‘we’re living in a post-truth world,’ as if we ever lived in a truth world”
Ever since the first humans developed language, we’ve been navigating an information landscape pitted with lies, tall tales, myths, pseudoscience, half-truths, and plain old inaccuracies.
*Personally, I don’t agree with some statements, but I must acknowledge that panic and being judgemental also won’t help us out. In this day and age proper contact appears to have become more difficult, and that’s without the pitfalls of mis- and or disinformation. *
