This probably counts as {{< animate wave wise >}} posting. On local news there's sentiment that the world is now "post--truth"... but historically; since when has the world not been post--truth? Truth (verifiability/provability) is ultra rare and trust abundant :-) The Internet/Blockchain/whatever is not a truth machine and could never be a truth machine. Inside events/stories/happenings everyone's just as clueless as in past eras and technological differences become "functionally equivalent" --- meaning you either waste time separating signal from noise in "fast" and "fake" information infinitum or waiting for "slow" and "official" carrier pigeons to arrive.
