The Brave New World?
"Old" is not bad and "new" can be worse. New can mean lies and autocracy. New can mean oppression.
"If we are plunging into an interregnum," Dr. Andy Farnell wrote some days ago, "if truth is the first casualty of war, and if Blaise Metreweli is right that we're in the twilight between peace and war, then that's partly our own doing and within our power to pull back from the brink. Epistemic mistrust is a psyops weapon, and we must look both abroad and closer to home for those that are full of bullshit and peddle the tools of bullshit, because they, in their own weak minds have given up on the truth. In the funniest ways their own kids are calling them out on it."
He also discussed how this related to technology and to computer security (he wrote for us about it 4+ years ago). He has a very negative view of where technology is heading. █
