We are witnessing a growing lack of empathy and incontinence to restrain our sincere and often undocumented trigger. We open our mouths to punctuate, to dictate judgment even on what we do not know, while we cover our ears when someone explains a complex topic that demands attention.

As the lexicon thins dramatically, synonyms and the confusions they generate are common. We lose language, we think badly and in that sincerity of viscera the post-truths are based on.
