  • There was an erosion of any kind of collective sense of what's true or how you would go about verifying any truth claims
  • Opinion has become the new truth.
  • Anybody can express an opinion on a blog or any other outlet and there's no system of verification or double-checking, you just say whatever you want to and it gets magnified. It's just kind of a bizarre world in which one person's opinion counts as much as anybody else's
