Era of Post-Truth

This is going to be a really short article. The year 2016 saw the creation of a new word in the English language that is of great interest to me: Post-truth.

It means an era in which decisions at the highest level are governed more by emotion than facts and where facts are "shaped" to follow these emotions. We now hear of "alternative facts" and suchlike language. Non-truth is falsehood and the father of lies is the devil. It means we are now in an era in which falsehood is not only trending but dominates the global power play.
