What is Post Truth

I’ve heard the term ‘Post Truth’ a few times recently but this is a genuine question, not a rhetorical title for a discussion.  I hope to read and otherwise encounter ideas, then other people label me and I can adjust or accept the name accordingly.

I have an understanding of what Modernism was, and a firm belief that it is over (this comes from my using painting as a prime example).  As I have argued before, this makes me post (two words) modernist even if I can’t accept the classification Postmodernist.

If Modernism was a series of ‘isms’ and Postmodernism abandons the idea of a Grand Narrative, then how can postmodernISM be the cure for a series of isms.  Is Post Truth and answer?  It sounds like a euphemism for hypocrisy!

If I (and you) are lucky at least part of this meeting will be under someone else’s control.
