AutoTranslate[prisna-google-website-translator]Â Objective facts and rules of logic affect people’s lives less than good stories that define and guide our lives.

Everyone wants to be trustworthy or at least…
The Truth Cast Adrift When I have read advertisements of the country’s largest daily newspaper about “moving to a post-truth Era” I have been pondering what might this directly suggest.

On Friday, March 15, 2019, schoolchildren all around the world protested over climate change, calling politicians for action to prevent global warming, ie to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
