The phenomenon, let us say, is the external presentation of some fact.
Our contemporaries see only representations of the fact,
which the press, radio, television, propaganda, and advertising provide.
They no longer have faith in their own experiences, judgment, and thinking.
They rely on printed paper, sound waves, or televised images.
In their eyes, a fact becomes true when the newspaper prints an account of it,
and they judge its importance by how tall the headline is.
What they have seen for themselves does not count unless it is officially communicated and crowds
have given it credence.
