RE: Fake News and the Information War

Language has always been important in politics, but language is incredibly important to the present political struggle. Because if you can establish an atmosphere in which information doesn't mean anything, then there is no objective reality. The first show we did, a year ago, was our thesis statement: What you wish to be true is all that matters, regardless of the facts. Of course, at the time, we thought we were being farcical.

Yes, I have realized this in 2010 after being around much information and learning about consciousness, that people will just believe what they want for the most part, as truth doesn't really matter that much.
