What do you think? Is the world now run on lies, propaganda and fake news? Or is that being paranoid?
The only problem we have is that people now believe that the world is now run on lies, propaganda and fake news. The fact is that the world has not changed, just the perception of ordinary individuals like us has shifted axis. The world itself is just the same as it has ever been.
We haven't learned anything new, there is no epithany. It's just a point of view, a zeitgeist. Not reality.
It was discovered long ago that people could be easily manipulated. People want to believe in something that gives them hope. The internet has made that easy en masse. it's a fascinating time to study human behaviour.
