When Reality Becomes Optional

Picture waking up to a world where facts have lost all meaning - where your neighbor believes one set of truths, you believe another, and there's no shared ground to stand on. This isn't dystopian fiction. It's the unsettling reality we're living in. We've entered what some call the "post-truth era," where feelings trump facts, and lies spread faster than corrections. But how did we get here? The answer is more complex and disturbing than you might think. It's a story that weaves together totalitarian playbooks, academic philosophy gone rogue, and technology that promised connection but delivered division. Understanding this journey isn't just intellectually interesting - it's essential for survival in a world where truth itself has become a casualty.
