366. Do We Live in a Post-Truth Society? (English Vocabulary Lesson)
In a world of social media, fake news, and deepfakes… how can we know what’s true anymore? The phrase “post-truth” has become one of the defining ideas of our time. Politicians lie without consequence, misinformation spreads faster than facts, and many people seem to trust their feelings more than solid evidence. As a result, truth itself seems less influential than emotion or personal belief. In today’s episode, we’re going to explore what it means to live in a post-truth society…. a society where the line between fact and opinion is increasingly blurred, and where it can feel harder than ever to know what is real. At the same time, I’ll introduce some new and useful vocabulary, and we will practice our English listening comprehension!
