Reality Lost
Author: Vincent F. Hendricks
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030008134
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 159
Book Description
This open access book looks at how a democracy can devolve into a post-factual state. The media is being flooded by populist narratives, fake news, conspiracy theories and make-believe. Misinformation is turning into a challenge for all of us, whether politicians, journalists, or citizens. In the age of information, attention is a prime asset and may be converted into money, power, and influence – sometimes at the cost of facts. The point is to obtain exposure on the air and in print media, and to generate traffic on social media platforms. With information in abundance and attention scarce, the competition is ever fiercer with truth all too often becoming the first victim. Reality Lost: Markets of Attention, Misinformation and Manipulation is an analysis by philosophers Vincent F. Hendricks and Mads Vestergaard of the nuts and bolts of the information market, the attention economy and media eco-system which may pave way to postfactual democracy. Here misleading narratives become the basis for political opinion formation, debate, and legislation. To curb this development and the threat it poses to democratic deliberation, political self-determination and freedom, it is necessary that we first grasp the mechanisms and structural conditions that cause it.

Book Description
We would all like the world to become a better place. Laws and programs are helpful and are designed with good intentions, but there’s only so much they can do. It really comes down to each person doing his part to live life as problem-free as possible for him. Since no one is an island unto himself, anyone’s lack of personal responsibility or good ethics affects others – whether just those close to him or the general population. We all hope to live a happy life. However, hoping is not the most effective way to ensure you reach that very important goal. Instead of relying on the remote possibility of consistent GOOD LUCK, learn how to consider, prepare for, and optimally handle nearly every situation you might encounter in life to ensure that you reap rewards for the efforts you have to expend to live either way. Discover how you can become a more knowledgeable, resilient and worthwhile contributor to society by improving your own life! Feel earned pride and deserved respect at any socioeconomic level. Learn how to create the optimal circumstances in areas of your life such as: RELATIONSHIPS, FINANCES, SELF-CARE, SEX, DRUGS, LAWS, RAISING CHILDREN, and more. Lead by example and make your life as problem-free as it can be. Then encourage others to do the same. One-by-one *AND* with detailed information on how to do it, WE CAN make the world a better place. Best wishes and thank you for doing your part. Even more gratitude if you encourage others to do the same. We can do this.
