摘要

Is the expertise of professionals, including scientists and engineers in crisis? It is hard to remember the number of times in recent months that issues of the 'post-truth world' have been raised in public fora and the media by different people, including frustrated advocates of issues such as action on climate change. The claim is that with an increase in fake news and alternative sources of information available through online and social media, it is increasingly hard for news based on real evidence and 'the truth' to influence important parts of the voting society, which is skewing political decision-making. Although there may be some changes in recent history in the mode and volume of online news, we would contend that the underlying tension between competing views on issues, including those that are entirely fabricated are not new and have been at work in society for decades, if not hundreds or thousands of years (think typical political propaganda by ruling political regimes, retracted scientific studies based on fabricated data and even the long traditions of literary fiction vs. non-fiction). Story-telling plays an important role in our imaginations and subsequent actions in society; however, whether or not we are able to ascertain whether something is fiction or not, has obviously been an important challenge through history.
