On Defining Post-Truth
"Relating to
or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential
in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief"

Two words Sense and Sensibility.According to observation by Kathleen Higgins Post-truth refers to blatant lies being routine across society, and it means that politicians can lie without condemnation. This is different from the cliché that all politicians lie and make promises they have no intention of keeping — this still expects honesty to be the default position. In a post-truth world, this expectation no longer holds
