Skeptical people? You mean people who distrust everything? Because "post truth" doesn't stimulate to question reality, it incites total distrust. After which society heads straight for dismantling the state, and all the violence that comes with it.


We already have post truth behavior in our society, it just isn't well distributed at the moment. Imagine a society where every response looked like the stereotypical HN top comment, "Actually, the opposite is true..." Here the behavior is rewarded, presumably it makes the community better and results in a diversity of thought. I'm curious why wouldn't this be similarly rewarded in the offline world?
