Welcome to Goto 10 for a thought-provoking talk about what democracy is all about in an age of fake news and post-truth. Based on recent research, Johan Farkas urges for the need to make space for popular dispute, difference and agonistic confrontations to uphold democratic traditions and institutions.

Democracies are currently under siege, as fake news are flooding social media and post-truth sentiments roam throughout society. This dystopian narrative has come to dominate political agendas across the globe. To save democracy – a number of voices argue – radical measures are needed. Indeed, for many, truth must be restored at all cost. In this talk, Johan Farkas critically examines contemporary post-truth discourses by honing in on and challenging their democratic underpinnings.

Through extensive analyses of scholarly and journalistic publications, the talk unpacks how post-truth discourses presuppose a certain normative idea of what democracy is and ought to be. Not only is democracy configured as a static construct in these discourses, it is also equated very narrowly with evidence-based decision-making and truth-telling practices. Engaging with critical political philosophy, Farkas highlights how these democratic imaginaries neglect how democracy has never been about truth, evidence and rationality alone. It is equally about the voice of the democratic people. By neglecting this cornerstone of the democratic tradition, post-truth discourses reproduce and strengthen a risky vision of democracy – one in which consensus and rationality dominate over civic voices and popular dispute. By doing so, contemporary post-truth discourses – and the solutions they contain – might end up deepening existing democratic problems.

What we need now – perhaps more than ever – is not simply more truth, but more politics proper. We need to fortify our democratic institutions by once again making space for popular dispute, difference and agonistic confrontations.

The talk is based Farkas’ new book, Post-Truth, Fake News and Democracy: Mapping the Politics of Falsehood, written with Jannick Schou and published by Routledge: https://www.routledge.com/Post....-Truth-Fake-News-and

We show how to design protocols that resist attackers with remote attestation, including both completely cryptographic methods such as on-line deniable key establishment (that work against some adversaries and as adopted by the upcoming OTRv4) and methods that use TEEs (which can stop it completely).

His Truth Is Marching on: John Lewis and the Power of Hope by Jon Meacham, John Lewis Book Review

John Lewis was an unlikely hero in American history. Born to poor sharecroppers in rural Alabama, he became determined to overturn the injustices of the Jim Crow South. Throughout the 1960s, he and other activists in the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee staged a series of nonviolent protests, marches, and sit-ins to push for equal rights. His efforts helped secure the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act. He continued his work throughout his long career as a US Representative, fighting for justice until the very end.

Presented by The Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre

In July 2020 the National Archives of Australia released the long-suppressed correspondence between Sir John Kerr and Queen Elizabeth II, written during Kerr's tumultuous tenure as Governor-General of Australia. The letters cover the constitutional crisis that culminated in Kerr's infamous dismissal of Labor Prime Minister Gough Whitlam in 1975.

In their book, The Truth of the Palace Letters, Paul Kelly and Troy Bramston reveal their meaning and significance for understanding the dismissal. The analysis of these documents and their authors throws a revealing light on the connection between the Queen in Buckingham Palace and the Governor-General in Canberra. Coupled with newly discovered archival documents and interviews, Kelly and Bramston explain the implications of the letters for our Constitution, our democracy and the republic debate.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Like an unsung melody
The truth is waiting there for you to find it
It's not a blight, but a remedy
A clear reminder of how it began
Deep inside your memory
You turned away as you struggled to find it
You heard the call as you walked away
A voice of calm from within the silence
And for what seemed an eternity
You waited hoping it would call out again
You heard the shadow beckoning
Then, your fear seemed to keep you blinded
You held your guard as you walked away

[Chorus]
When you think all is forsaken
Listen to me now (All's not forsaken)
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes, darkness can show you the light

[Verse 2]
An unforgivable tragedy
The answer isn't where you think you'd find it
Prepare yourself for the reckoning
For when your world seems to crumble again
Don't be afraid, don't turn away
You're the one who can redefine it
Don't let hope become a memory
Let the shadow permeate your mind
And reveal the thoughts that were tucked away
So that the door can be opened again
Within your darkest memories
Lies the answer, if you dare to find it
Don't let hope become a memory

[Chorus]
When you think all is forsaken
Listen to me now (All's not forsaken)
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes, darkness can show you the light

[Bridge]
Sickening, weakening
Don't let another somber pariah consume your soul
You need strengthening, toughening
It takes an inner dark to rekindle the fire burning in you
Ignite the fire within you

[Chorus]
When you think all is forsaken
Listen to me now (All's not forsaken)
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes, darkness can show you the light

[Outro]
Don't ignore, listen to me now
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes, darkness can show you the light

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I must’ve dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They’re moving into the street
Now, did you read the news today?
They say the danger’s gone away
But I can see the fire’s still alight
There, burning into the night

[Pre-Chorus]
There’s too many men
Too many people
Making too many problems
And there’s not much love to go ‘round
Can’t you see
This is a land of confusion?

[Chorus]
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we’re given
Use them, and let’s start trying
To make it a place worth living in

[Verse 2]
Ooh, Superman, where are you now?
When everything’s gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, the men of power
Are losing control by the hour

[Pre-Chorus]
This is the time
This is the place
So, we look for the future
But there’s not much love to go ‘round
Tell me why this is a land of confusion

[Chorus]
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we’re given
Use them and let’s start trying
To make it a place worth living in

[Bridge]
I remember long ago
Ooh, when the sun was shining
And all the stars were bright
All through the night
In the wake of this madness
As I held you tight
So long ago

[Verse 3]
I won’t be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We’re not just making promises
That we know we’ll never keep

[Pre-Chorus]
Too many men
Too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go ‘round
Can’t you see
This is a land of confusion?

[Chorus]
Now, this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we’re given
Use them, and let’s start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for

This is the world we live in
And these are the names we’re given
Stand up and let’s start showing
Just where our lives are going to

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
You could say I lost my faith in science and progress
You could say I lost my belief in religion
You could say I lost my sense of direction
You could say all of this and worse but

[Chorus]
If I ever lose my faith in you (In you)
There'd be nothing left for me to do (To do)

[Verse 2]
Some would say I was a lost man in a lost world
You could say I lost my faith in the people on TV
You could say I'd lost my belief in our politicians
They all seemed like game show hosts to me but

[Chorus]
If I ever lose my faith in you (If I ever lose my faith)
There'd be nothing left for me to do (If I ever lose my faith)
Lose my faith in you (In you)

[Bridge]
I could be lost inside their lies without a trace (Without a trace)
But every time I close my eyes I see your face

[Verse 3]
I never saw no miracle of science
That didn't go from a blessing to a curse (A curse)
I never saw no military solution that didn't end up worse

[Refrain]
If I ever lose my faith in you

[Chorus]
If I ever lose my faith in you
(If I ever lose my faith in you)
There'd be nothing left for me to do
(There'd be nothing left for me to do)

[Outro]
If I ever lose my faith (Lose my faith)
If I ever lose my faith (Lose my faith)
If I ever lose my faith (Lose my faith)
If I ever lose my faith (Lose my faith)
In you
In you

Lyrics:
Get up, get up

Well, are you ready now
For the revolution
For too long your power has been taken away
It’s been taken away
Does your heart feel heavy now
Savor the solution
Take those mental shackles off and throw them away
You’ve got to get them out of your mind
Don’t you let their vision leave you blind

Moving steady now
It’s a revelation
For so long your focus has been taken away
Now you’re breaking away
They may think they know you, but
Here’s an education
No, they can’t control you
Once you’ve broken away
They’re done patrolling your mind

When they’re searching for you, they will find
A force they aren’t ready for

They aren’t ready for you to be strong
They aren’t ready for you to prove them wrong
They aren’t ready for you to be turned into someone
Who cannot be preyed upon

That’s enough already now
You don’t want to take it
All your reservations have been taken away
They’ve been taken away
So you think you’re ready now
For the revolution
Yeah, they can’t control you
Once you’ve broken away
You’ve got to get them out of your mind

When they stand before you they will find
A force they aren’t ready for

They aren’t ready for you to be strong
They aren’t ready for you to prove them wrong
They aren’t ready for you to turned into someone
Who cannot be preyed upon

(Are you ready)

When they stand before us they will find
A cause they aren’t ready for

They aren’t ready for you/us to be strong
They aren’t ready for you/us to prove them wrong
They aren’t ready for you/Let me know you’re ready to be turned into someone/people who cannot be preyed upon

We cannot be preyed upon

(Get up)

Are you ready?

🎤 Lyrics: Disturbed - The Sound Of Silence (CYRIL Remix

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp

When my eyes were stabbed
By the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening

People writing songs
That voices never share
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence

Fools, said I, You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
And the words that it was forming

And the sign said
The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence

They call me Baby Driver
And once upon a pair of wheels
I hit the road and I'm gone
What's my number
I wonder how your engines feel
Ba ba ba ba
Scoot down the road
What's my number
I wonder how your engines feel
Shine a light, ooo ooo oo, ooo ooo oo
