Will people become less concerned with truth or will they be less likely to give it a second thought?

There are many truths but the best truth is spiritual truth, and the internet has been a conduit of such like other means of mass communication have (i.e. books). I mean personal enlightenment.
Yet fallacy exist, good is far more potent.
Hard to protect oneself from fallacy by inviting it through your focus. Know the truth of oneself instead and the legitimacy of one's own intuition.
To know truth is to trust that you have the capability to house it. Said differently: By necessity, one must trust they have the power to know truth.

The truth in this Internet world is my score on some of the games I play. As compared to the rest of the scores I see that I am not much of a byte. Plain truth in this New World Order.
