On Post Fact Nonsense

Posted: 12/20/2016

Also known as post truth.

So called fact checkers have been all the rage lately. Who checks the self proclaimed fact checkers?

Notes:
  1. Humans have a strong tendency to be  very selective about facts. Perceived or presented so called facts are often in the eye of the beholder. Or in other words, humans like to cherry pick what they like to claim as facts.
  2. So called facts can be half truth or fake!
  3. Those who claim to speak the truth or claim to argue with facts are often liars!
  4. Too many humans are still very superstitious and irrational!
  5. Facts and fiction are often closely intertwined
  6. To paraphrase Oscar Wilde facts are rarely and never simple
  7. To err is human!
  8. Caveat emptor!
