We call this post-truth as though truth once mattered, but since humanity's dawn societies have been built not from truth but belief, honesty has ruined lives, daily decisions have been based on false or incomplete data, & we've been so deluded that we told lies even when sincere
The problem lies not in the external world, but in our own mental architecture. We are not configured for truth, but for survival, hence no permeation of "facts" (which can be used to deceive as well as enlighten) will strengthen our bond with the Truth.

Oftentimes, a more structured organized society requires a greater degree of dishonesty.
