Truth is dead

 


 


Welcome to the post-truth reality, guys.

  1. As for truth, the assembling of Western knowledge begins with the Library of Alexandria. French archaeologists are even attempting to construct a virtual Lighthouse repilca. Let's not forget Hypatia and how the Church in its day under Cyril murdered her out of jealousy perhaps, but certainly to stifle free thinking that opposed the church doctrines. Now we have to sort out 'truth' from the thousands, perhaps millions of podsters and blogsters and youtube posters who assert their versons of reality. As corporate media declines, the independent sources are on the rise, including those from the "Outer Limits" such as guys (or gals) associated with extradimensional time travelling Commanders ;-} I enjoyed the above poster's rants! Although I think the quote is "A lie travels the world while the truth is getting its pants on."

  2. Kind of liked his rants, too. Of course, "the truth" is always in short supply. What passes for "concern for truth" is usually just concern for social cohesiveness (with our without an elite group). Today, as cohesive society crumbles, whoever is temporarily on top makes up their own truths...only to change it the day after, chameleon-like. The postmodern condition grips even those who claim to oppose it!
