“A Post-Fact Society”
I was reading my new Playboy and saw this in the Forum:
Today on the web, television and radio, you can watch, listen to and read what you want when you want. You can seek out and discuss the news that pleases you, dismissing the rest. And you can indulge your political, social or scientific theories, however baseless, with people who exactly the same way. As a result, on many of our most contentious national issues — the Iraq war and global warming, for instance — society has splintered. We no longer merely hold opinions different from one another; we also hold different facts
I read this and thought how true, and how this theory hits home on Fluid Imagination.
Just read some of the posts and comments between Kyle and Justin, since those two are the only ones who actually reference anything and who don’t, like myself, just blurt out an opinion.
I was just wondering what your thoughts might be on this.
