Truth and fake news

Abstract

The Truth, in its totality, is too much for humans, who don’t have the language to demonstrate it. Thus, it exists, but it Only conforms to the field of faith. From it, one Only have access too ne part; but this partiality is not the Truth; it is what is said about it (often with the pretense to be the Truth), something that conforms to a consensual truth (with a small “v”), merely formal or, in criminal proceedings, endoprocedural. There, the truth is presented as correspondence. Deep down, a lie, if you take the Truth as reference. Consensus guarantees the truth a certain stability, due to social acceptance. Being merely a truth (or merely a lie), there is room to na open and purposeful lie, such as Fake News; mainly in the political field, but with reflexes in all of them, including in criminal procedure. They subvert the standard and put at risk the constituited order, the institutions and the democracy itself. They are created by people who know what they are doing, in a criminal manner; and disseminated in social media, successfully, because there many are coopted and believe in them, forming a herd. It is very difficult to fight them with regular control instruments; this is something that can happen with algorithms, Artificial Intelligence, and a somewhat sophisticated internal control that prevents its dissemination. At least until a new way to circumvent the standard is invented, with a new scam.
