Someone has started a campaign for us to not trust [View all]

the internet, reality, our eyes in novel most basic way. I have seen numerous false posts on the internet in the last week suddenly: the location of a famous monestory, the date of some event. Very few before. These are the most obvious of fake locations or way off dates and the like. Our sence of space and sense of time, thus history and science (space and time), are being F'ed with. Not just our politics or our sense of right and wrong. Time and space are the basics of our perception.

Then again maybe it is AI that is clueless on space and time.
