We are currently faced with the rise of disregard of evidenced knowledge and critical thinking competencies in the public discourse, which are being easily replaced by common sense opinions, slogans, emotions, and impulsive intuition. Added to this challenge is conducting life at the intensity of the hashtag, wherein the contest amongst people is not on qualitative arguments, but rather on who was the first one to come out with ‘breaking news’, and who played with the vocabulary of crisis accurately in order to spike reactions. No time is given to the durable processing of incidents properly and the proper exchange and testing of valuable ideas. The currency of such an environment is the selling of conflict at the fingertip of the internet, targeted mainly on manipulating mainstream media and monopolosing public life. These are the characteristics of the post-truth era.
