robomatic BS: What does post-truth mean (47) RE: BS: What does post-truth mean 06 Dec 16

Thanks for the link to Ian Hislop. I think Orwell, one of the most important writers to explain the twisted politics of the 20th Century, maintains his importance in the 21st.

The latest expression of the ILLOGIC OF THE TIME is the explanation of Trump's success as follows:

"The media took him literally but not seriously. His supporters took him seriously but not literally."

And I am reminded of the quote from Ayn Rand:

"We can ignore reality, but we cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality."
