Aprašymas

They used to call it Satire, they now call it Fake News.

The difference is that we have forgotten how to laugh.

A collection of essays exploring post-truth politics, the future of humanity, panarchy, conspiracy theories and such topics in the context of the current rise of magical thinking.

In My Years of Magical Thinking the author suggested

that we are entering an era of post-religious and post-scientific magical thinking. One consequence is a

downplaying of the importance of truth - but not

necessarily a denial of truth.

Others speak of a "post truth" society - is this the same thing? What does magical thinking put in place of truth? These essays explore some possible consequences.

Edited from transcripts of videos on the author's

popular YouTube channel.
