**What I realised about Trump, is that Trump is a product of that retreat into a simplified world. A lot of his language could come from the Occupy movement. He has this attitude: all politicians are shit. It’s almost like Seventies counterculture, joints being rolled on album covers, and really Trump is the end result of that attitude. And “Politics is shit” is one of the things that most influences the internet. You know – everything is bad. Well, yeah. But it’s naive and it’s a retreat.

**People believe Trump, because in the internet age, everyone has their own truths ** I did [documentary series] The Century of the Self, which is all about the rise of the individual as the most important thing. What I tried to show was that capitalism thought, “Great, we can give people lots of stuff that makes them feel like themselves”. The problem for politics is its very difficult to create a political movement out of hyper-individualistic people, because they all have their own version of the truth. It stops politicians pulling people together and uniting them. Politics has been destroyed by that. So Trump has accepted that – he’s said, well, everyone has their own truths, so I have my own truths.

**Trump probably even believes his own lies ** I mean, if you look at Trump, he’s the ultimate self-actualising individual. What he thinks at that moment up on stage is real. So if you’ve got a bunch of people locked inside their heads, how do you change the world? Because everyone has a different world. And that’s really what Trump has bought into focus, which is the inability of politicians to deal - it’s not a post truth world, it creates a post truth world, but what it really makes is a world where everyone has their own truth, and they are encouraged to believe that that is true.

Ok i kind of agree but i think it's the opposite. They've taken a simple existence and made it ridiculously complexe and i feel like the version we are in we are slaves and it's pretty chill

I don't think it can be mandated regardless.

Just as a thought experiment, do you think a cat likes being an indoor cat more than it likes being an outdoor cat?
