The cultural melting pot of traditional and modern knowledge, with all its experimentation, innovation and emergence, which we call “culture and education”, is experiencing a major paradigmatic mutation: the Internet. From this algorithmic network an old bias is arising once again as a planet-wide cognitive challenge: the “hydra of post-truth”. Nelson Vallejo-Gómez is a French-Colombian philosopher who specialises in the paradigm of complexity based on the magnum opus by Edgar Morin, Method. He has been Secretary General of the Association for Complex Thought (APC-France) and of the Scientific Council for National Education (CSEN-France). He is also the Chair of the Council of Honour in Social Science and the Humanities of the University of Caldas (Manizales, Colombia), Scientific Director of PREFALC-FMSH and Inspector General of Education and Research in France.
