this term "post-truth world" is such a silly one. When was there ever a "truth world"?

There was a "truth world" when interconnectivity between average people was low and narratives were controlled by a select few that dominated or had influence over the media. Now that there's more edges in the graph due to social media and the internet, there's more competition of narratives and we're seeing the social effects of that.

There may have been a shared delusion at one time that we had something in common. We have cast aside that delusion now.
