The Year of the mis(s)!

Misinformation is "the word of the year", according to dictionary.com. The dictionary gives its own definition of the word: "false information that is spread, regardless of whether there is intent to mislead".

Thanks to Facebook, of course but not only. Politicians contributed a lot too. Not to mention the historians (negationists of all kinds) and the propagators of "fake news", "alternative facts"...

But there is more:
Advertising brought its own "mis": misplacement. And, best of all: miscalculation. So many opportunities to miss the target. A wonderful prefix, so productive, so useful nowadays.
But do not misunderstand me, this is nothing new: Socrates, about 380 BCE, used to complain about the Sophists and rhetoric: "a tool of persuasion" and not a tool for justice or for truth. "Thus rhetoric, it seems, is an operator (demiourgos, "δημιουργός") of persuasion for belief, not for instruction in right and wrong", (Plato, Gorgias, 455a).
And worse, of course, there is misconduct in so many companies, sexual misconduct, financial misconduct...
Misbehaving? "The year of our discontent"? We won't miss it. "The Uneasyness in Civilization", wrote Freud (Das Unbehagen in der Kultur)... Uneasiness, yes... really. And morality?
