Abstract

There is a notion called post-truth that is often applied today in shaping the world (emotions, attitudes, behaviors) and can produce effective results in a short time. This notion can be accepted as a method of information management. However, managing and distributing information by manipulating it dominates managing it by processing it with truth. Post-truth is a communication design focusing on shaping emotions, which is why it weakens reason and science, even putting them into the background. Post-truth is a notion that is often applied in shaping the world (emotions, attitudes, and behaviors) and can produce effective results in a short period of time.
