On the April 10th, 2019, astronomers around the Horizon Telescope Collaboration announce the first image of a black hole ever. The following day police arrest Julian Assange at Ecuadorian Embassy in London. As a founder of WikiLeaks, Assange is behind the first images/videos exposing the "unseeable", a super-massive military and financial force - a black hole of its own kind which tears apart our basic human rights and feelings.
If 2016 was the year of a post-truth media and politics, 2019 is the year in which our globalized society finally has passed the event horizon of the black hole whose image was exposed by WikiLeaks.
Now onward we live a post-event horizon society.

A micro-fiction about Truth and Post Event-Horizon Society

Truth has been always stretching and condensing, at least the part of Truth we think we are aware of.
However, once we entered a low orbit around the black hole, Truth has been suddenly stretched so much, that it becomes ugly and funny, simultaneously.
We felt how the enormous gravitational force of the black hole was slowly, but surely altering our Truth. The last day we finally passed the event horizon, we have seen the black hole for the first time.
It was truly remarkable discovery at that time.
Now, we are in the black hole and there is no more place for Truth. The very logic we use to perceive it has been torn apart.
We can only hope the black hole will spit us out soon, somewhere where we could reconstitute our Truth again, whatever it looks like.
