up emerging. Without understandable standards, and with
insurmountable technological disparities between the parties,
objective assessment of the evidence seems like a chimera.
All in all, the question of truth has taken a leap that we could
describe as extra-procedural. Indeed, what is happening today
is the deliberate construction of a total parallel reality (neither
true nor false in the classical sense of the word) by agents with
specific interests, who not only do not hide their intentions (the
Metaverse), but achieve the spontaneous collaboration of the
subjects themselves "deceived" by this parallel reality, who, in
a form of radical escapism, become complicit in its expansion:
Instead of fleeing from reality, let us socially build a parallel
one.
This state of affairs cannot be dealt with in the courts because it
both extends beyond and envelopes the legal process. Rather, it
requires a public policy response. Thus, it acquires a dimension
more of a social or collective right (such as peace or a healthy
environment), rather than an individual guarantee. A state of
affairs for which the individual solution is not satisfactory
(extracting a situation, acts, or specific subjects from the parallel
world to insert them (momentarily?) in the (real?) world of the
legal process), but rather question structural elements of social
relations.” We have followed Dr. De Cabo thus far and now use
his important reflection as context.
Ideology, cynicism, and post-truth
Slavoj Žižek has started the discussion on how the classic version
of ideology, which assumes that individuals are prevented from
clearly knowing the reality in which they interact, has mutated into
a much more sophisticated and complex—I would also say
dangerous—version of ideology. A world where individuals perceive
