I like how they call the modern world. Though, I'm not sure what time in history can be called "truth age".
- lifthrasiir 6y agoMost of the history was "pre-truth age". By the intermediate value theorem there surely was a brief, infinitesimal period of "truth age". /jk I guess the word "post-truth" means the lack of truth as an objective or goal, not the lack of truth by itself.
- air7 6y ago> what time in history can be called "truth age". I'd say most of it, and we're still largely there. People basically believe what they're being told and shown. Being inhertinaly skeptical is very rare.
