Could society ever publicly admit to not actually caring about what’s true? If not, why exactly not? If so, what might it look like?

Answer 1

Like now? The truth hurts.

Answer 2

What the hell is the Trump Presidency if not a declaration that America doesn't care about facts, truth, goodness, morality, reality, or ******* anything of value? He lies at least 25 times a day, attacks our allies, praises our enemies, and that's not even mentioning the actual, literal treason. We're already firmly into the post-truth society and slouching toward actual fascism.

Answer 3

Look around you. Our society increasingly does not care about facts - you make your own facts and follow the people whose dialog matches what you want to hear.

Answer 4

Because "truth" is always going to be very subjective.

Answer 5

Yes
