THE AGE OF RELATIVISM SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE “POST-TRUTH ERA” WE SEEM TO BE ENTERING AN ERA WHERE FACTS ARE BECOMING UNNECESSARY, OR EVEN TRIVIAL—WHERE THE ELECTORATE IS INDIFFERENT TO STATISTICS AND INCREASINGLY APPEALS TO PERSONAL EMOTION AND BELIEFS. THE RECENT EVENTS AT THE US CAPITOL AND THE ONGOING DENIAL OF CLIMATE CHANGE REFLECT THIS TREND AS WE PROGRESSIVELY ENTER A DYSTOPIAN-LIKE EPOCH WHERE TRUTH APPEARS TO NO LONGER MATTER.
