He is not wearing a seat belt, and he sustains a serious head injury which results in a total and permanent loss of memory of everything that has happened for the last 3 years. There is no chance he will ever regain his memory of these 3 years. A year after the robbery, Garrett is brought to trial.

A Critique of the Philosophical/Intellectual Foundations of the Post-Truth Era
The essay I hope to be written wishes to criticize the current political situation and the consequences of the intellectual tradition in question, based on the arguments and propositions set forth above. Therefore, I await the writing of the essay focusing on the political critique of postmodernism/post-structuralism. My primary expectation is to do this within the framework or base of the ‘post-truth’ era.[supanova_question]
