As you may know, since 2014 I've been very concerned with a pervasive problem in the USA now called 'post truth.' I got in alot of trouble for being one of the first people to notice it was happening, at first to do with placing rights to property over rights to life in gun control. I was called unpatriotic, elitist, and repeatedly, stupid.

But despite new populist labeling of the phenomenon as defining truth by 'narrative; rather than by scoped logical statement, I continue to be sneered at, and even physically attacked for trying to do something about it. For the extent Americans have demeaned me, which has included armed assaults on my life for being a 'privileged white motherfucker' (and the majority of social media boards banned me just for bringing that up at all last summer) I really dont care to do anything for the USA's sake anymore.

This year, Congress can't even find a President responsible for violating his oath of office by not trying to protect the life of his own Vice President during an assault by his own followers.

Do you think I even wanted to be proven that my concerns were so correct?

Recently I made some observations on how the AAAS is stating that scientific theory defines facts about reality, rather than a representational model. People in this nation now choose to 'believe in' scientific theories like global warming just like already happened with evolution. There's many other examples I could cite, when there really shouldn't be any belief to do about it. One either should understand the model, or admit one doesn't have the ability to do so and accept authority on it.

But instead, in the USA, people choose to rely on 'intuition' from an inadequate foundation of knowledge. That has, as I have written before, had devastating effects on ethics, the legal system, and politics in the USA, and now the same thing is happening to science. Europeans don't have a problem with accepting the authority of scientists. It is a uniquely American trait which I attribute to being taught about the 'self-evident truth' for America's own authority to rule itself from a very early age, without even bothering to learn the self-evident truth originally derived from God. When Time Magazine ran a cover 'is Truth Dead?' without a photo, for the first time in its history to emphasize the question, I thought philosophy should have had something to say on it. Time Magazine said, they couldn't get an answer from philosophers, because they were too busy arguing with themselves as to what the answer to that question should be.

Similarly, no one else here has attempted to appreciate the significance of the problem or want to do anything about it. Meanwhile, the 'post truth narrative' in the USA has now reached its scientific community too. Having been sharing thoughts on this board for seven years now, starting with whether philosophers can provide a solution via education, I would have thought there would be more than two voices on it that don't just try to undermine my views on it and think there might be some personal responsibility of philosophers to do something about the destruction of what little about truth could rationally be said without doubt. The post truth narrative has now become systematic in the USA. After I suggested philosophical education as a solution, I was told that it just asking too much work of professors to try and teach any more philosophical ideas as mandatory course requirements than they already have to. At the time, I accepted the argument with appropriate respect. But I have to conclude it is only an excuse now.

So I'm moving to Europe as soon as I can, and I dont really have anything further to say on it, unless you actually can accord some respect to the effort I've made on this topic. I didn't need to try and do anything. It was just a sense of social obligation. So now you may have your own thoughts to yourselves, I dont want to interfere in your problems any further. You all have a nice day.
