Yes, the political world, the one in which Mark Zuckerberg is a player and in which almost none of us commenting here are players, unless maybe we were to unite into one bloc. That world (and to the extent that "that world" runs "the world," "the world" too) has little use for facts. I'm not saying it's great or that we should give up. (Or that they can escape the facts permanently.) But it is a fact. And each downvote of that fact, proves the world doesn't run on facts!
