In the new age of informaton, some would say infotainment,
there is little clear difference between truth, and lies.
Both are deliverd with blatantly evasive advertising,
so why bother to try to make the distinction?
Many of the lies will illicit truthful responses,
in which the public will be keen to take part,
including venting fits of pique and cynicism,
to work out the rules that make the lies work?
This search changes how we look for truth -
from individual ownership of it to comments
from the public moulded by digital corporations.
This is old news-look at the ownership of the press
and broacasting. What is new is how much less
the individual can own their truth when they it is
a contribution to another corporation's monoply.
Corporate lies define success so well
we don't know, where or how to start
when we seek to extract some truth
that seems personal to us, from them.
