“Does truth exist?” When I stumbled on this question on GoodReads forum, I rolled my eyes. Sophomoric, dorm room rap-session stuff. But the more I thought, the more I realized the inquiry relevant in contemporary “post-truth” society, rife with “fake news.”
My take is that facts matter since they get us closer to reality. So by ignoring facts, fake news is dangerous. You cannot even run a household without facts. Like your checking account balance and electric bill amount.
