The search for truth is never ending.

In order to survive, humans need to know the truth about the world.

Truth has always been contested throughout history and never more so than these days within totalitarian regimes.

It is been corrupted by plagiarists and counterfeits, and now commonly manipulated by online trolls/ and algorithms.

Because:

Information circulating systems have been steadily evolving away from all aspects that gave us the ability to decern context and origin from what we experience.

Truth is not limited to a specific society or ideology,

There is a possibility and danger that truth will disappear from our life as a factor or as something that matters.

Not just here or there but everywhere.

This is at the heart of the crisis we now face in a world full of verbal social media dihirrs

A world of scams where it necessary not just to trust incoming phone calls but where verification of what one sees is required for news to believe.

This is becoming more and more urgent.

Its value once served as a kind of glue in our civilisation, codified through religious documents, constitutions, systems of law, family teachings, philosophical theories and more.

It is essential for their survival and flourishing, and to achieve the instrumental benefits of truth, humans have to cooperate, to play an active role in acquiring true knowledge and share it with others.

One of the things that distinguish us as humans is the value we assign to knowledge of the world for its own sake, not just for practical advantage, but also for theoretical understanding.

With the outbreak of war across the Middle East we look at the greatest point of danger in the realms of truth.

All human comments appreciated. All like clicks and abuse chucked in the bin.
