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
I don't think that tech will bring us closer to Truth. Our delusions are an evolutionary adaptation that arise from the fact that absolute truth is often a selection pressure. We are simply changing the nature of our delusion from a theological one to a virtual reality one.

I can agree with that. What I'm wondering is how long this battle of delusions is going to last? And what will the tipping point be.

I think the answer lies in transhumanism. If we are going to get closer to the truth, we are going to have to change the foundation of our perception: the physical structure of the brain.
