A viral theory of post-truth

A Reliability Theory of Truth

Our approach is basically a coherence approach, but we avoid the well-known pitfalls of coherence theories of truth. Consistency is replaced by reliability, which expresses support and attack, and, in principle, every theory (or agent, message) counts. At the same time, we do not require a priviledged access to ”reality”. A centerpiece of our approach is that we attribute reliability also to ag...

Kripke’s Theory of Truth

(1) If y is a subset of some member of A, then y is a subset of ∪A. I.e., ∃z(z ∈ A ∧ y ⊆ z)→ y ⊆ ∪A. A fortioiri, if z ∈ A, then z ⊆ ∪A. (2) If y is a superset of every member of A, then y is a superset of ∪A. I.e.,∀z(z ∈ A → z ⊆ y) → ∩A ⊆ y. A fortiori, if z ∈ A, then ∩A ⊆ z. (3) If y is a subset of every member of A, then y is a subset of ∩A. I.e.,∀z(z ∈ A→ y ⊆ z)→ y ⊆ ∩A. (4) If y is a super...

NLP in a post-truth world

which permits unrestricted re-use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Abstract We live in a post-truth world. It now matters more whether people think something is true than whether something really is true. This is dangerous, and technology is at least partly to blame. So, as technologists, how can we help to fix this? 1 The demise of fa...
