They used to call it Satire, they now call it Fake News.

The difference is that we have forgotten how to laugh.

A collection of essays exploring post-truth politics, the future of humanity, panarchy, conspiracy theories and such topics in the context of the current rise of magical thinking.

In My Years of Magical Thinking the author suggested

that we are entering an era of post-religious and post-scientific magical thinking. One consequence is a

downplaying of the importance of truth - but not

necessarily a denial of truth.

Others speak of a "post truth" society - is this the same thing? What does magical thinking put in place of truth? These essays explore some possible consequences.

Edited from transcripts of videos on the author's

popular YouTube channel.

He enjoys far more explaining really difficult stuff, like magic, and has written about a dozen books under pseudonyms. He was brought up in the Gloucestershire CotswoldHills and was plucked fromthe wilds by winning scholarships and government grants to go to Clifton College in Bristol and Emmanuel College in Canbridge, where he got his degree in pure mathematics. In various teaching and technical writing jobs he learned how to explain difficult things. He is now married and living near Cape Town. He likes vegetable gardening, good food, cats, movies, sunshine - the usual things - especially his wife. Read more at ramseydukes.co.uk."
