If truth has been lost there must be a substitute‚ this is where post-truth originated. Post-truth is when decisions are based upon emotions rather than facts‚ this is dangerous because each person feels a different way and therefore can justify melding a subject to fit their own liking. Post-truth has caused all truths to be called
