In this post-truth world we live in...

As you may or may not have heard, the Oxford Dictionary's Word of the Year for 2016 is "post-truth". [quote][url=https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/post-truth][b]post-truth[/b][/url] Relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief:[/quote] As I would like to think most people would agree, typically, when someone posits an argument based on emotion, when there is relevant objective data available, the gold-standard of rebuttal is to make an argument based on what the data says. However, in this post-truth world we live in now, where people are too easily swayed by what merely [i]sounds[/i] good, how best should we respond? Do we stand our ground and continue to assert the facts? Do we meet them on their level with similar material of what [i]sounds[/i] good? Do we bend the truth, misrepresent the facts, and falsify information if it helps achieve our goals, even if those goals are noble causes; is the ends beginning to justify the means? I'd be curious to hear about any other stories you have of post-truths and how, if you did, respond to them.

  • This kind of subject material is an introspective discussion, used to judge potential usage that may have been overcome by the same process used to study possibility. Its postulated to give an air of safety to certain ideas, that while developed as a range of selections to choose from, have to have a questionable nature of stability to be able to be progressed from. It's to setup the logical reference capable of comparing "apples and oranges", so to speak. Extension of the judgment involved resulting from such thought is what your asking about though. I in looking at things that are used to make judgment for movement, noted, bodies are used as judgment reference points, and the result of a positive judgment is indicated by creation furthered from a position of bodily desire. When desire reaches certain levels its considered emotional, or religious. Yet still the action remains tied to creation. Since the trend for better is to create, I noticed, when we all focus on creation of paradise together, then the largest amounts of new possibilities occur. This being said I noticed that at every moment having desire attachment, lead to creation, and decided to desire to be a part of creation. It lead me to want to make paradise for everybody. This lead me to discover the best way to handle debate, is to focus largely on visual appeal. At this I noticed, that, if you band a community together MADE of make paradise, and have the members build gaming environments, and we could share ideas for environments. Heck we could even play them, and test them out. Call it world domination...
