In an era of falling trust in institutions, #JoeBiden's pardon of his son #HunterBiden is a disaster.
It doesn't matter if his prosecution was political, or unfair, or unprecedented.
It has to be viewed in the context of the era that produced #Trump & other #PostTruth #populist's, who are about to usher in an era of nepotism & cronyism we haven't seen in 100+ years.

Post-truth is a curated presentation of the truth, for a particular purpose. Post-truth is advertising. Post-truth is political discourse. It was been with us all this time, but has seemingly only been registered as a problem now that it has been democratized by the internet.

There is no way to deny or reject #posttruth . If only bad faith actors make use of post-truth, only bad faith actors participate in public debate. Higher #civilization also needs supporters.

#Attention is the fundamental event. Anything that happens outside it, does not enter your experience. Attention is a tube that directs sunlight on some part of your inner garden, and not on others. It is how you cultivate yourself. You are what you attend to. There is nothing more serious.
