Summary/Abstract: Truth-bearing Wormhole of the Media Metaphoric title of this article is semantically pointing towards the phaenomenon of fissure in the truth-networks during the process of information transmittance via media, and also towards the troublesome progressive potentiality of the doxastic matrix of delusion regarding the beingfull aletheia projected by the media in relation to the reality of the beings. I claim that the antropos is situated in the era a priori marked by the complete relativity of the necessity of telling the truth. As the most evident phenomenological platform and the vindictive asylum of given ethosation in macro-social context, mass media is the ultimate example. Main questions of will be: is the deciphering of the truth the meritum of media game, or is it perhaps the larpurlatistic dissemination of large amount of information, and also whether we need the truth in order to preserve human species. As an analogy for the described context, I am using the example of transmission of the neuron “atoms”, whose core of the telos is travelling through the brain regardless of the content with which it is filled.
