How much does truth matter in a post-truth society?
People have spent enormous sums of money and time to hide the truth from the public. Just because every effort has been made to hide the truth, doesn’t diminish the fact that the truth matters. In my opinion, it’s just the opposite. It matters more than ever.
That kind of depends if you are discussing something objective or not. Wikipedia seems to have developed a strong left wing bias on anything political these days. Articles without any kind of politics still seem to be pretty objective. Can there be a single truth in politics, where ideas are very subjective?
The truth still reigns supreme, it is just that people sometimes suffer unnecessarily because they do not know what the truth is.
