I know its disturbing to many, but there is something nice about the post-truth moment: it feels like more people are actually questioning things more than when I grew up in the 90s/00s.

I think we need to shift towards a socionormative understanding of knowledge; as Rorty put it: "a fact is just something we can't be bothered to argue about". I agree with him that talking about truth isn't so useful for moving our culture forward.

We should be talking about how to negotiate the diverse vocabularies of discursive communities as they increasingly clash in our globalized culture. Dialectical exclusion is the cultural catastrophe of the day.
