    How about studying the efficacy of Putin style propaganda? In the US, we didn’t become a post racial society when we got our first black POTUS. But we seem to have become a post truth society with our current POTUS.  Democracies cannot stand if “Truth” becomes a meaningless concept.

    I think that the most important issue of our time is that “truth” is going away.  We know why.  Persons who can manipulate information effectively so as to influence people and events, do it to gain power.

    What we need to know is how they are so effective at it.  And we need to know how to stop them.
