"As these tools become more powerful and affordable, #skepticism in #media will grow. But the question isn't whether we can trust what we see and hear. It's whether we can trust who's showing it to us. In an era where anyone can generate a realistic video of anything for $1.50, the #credibility of the #source becomes our primary anchor to #truth. The medium was never the message—the #messenger always was."

Tired of being had by AI? Tired of raving imbeciles running the country? The solution is simple, be a skeptic in all matters. Seek truth with the understanding that truth is irrefutable. Study Socratic Method and ask questions. When you start asking questions, you will QUICKLY uncover lies, contradiction, and inconsistency. Trust those who have proven consistently to be trustworthy. #skepticism #Aristotelianism #platonism

I've finished: VALIS by Philip K. Dick

An unreliable naraiter in an unreliable universe, in VALIS P.K.D perforates the boundaries between reality, fantasy, hallucination and mental illness. Breaking the wall between the author and the protagonist, between the imagined and the real.

Seeking the truth, he ventures into madness, conspiracy theory, technobabble, religion and mysticism.

As a skeptic, I've encountered many a theory intended to explain unusual phenomena, with motivated reasoning, cherry picking, anomaly hunting, religious overtones and a good dose of mental instability to boot.

It is interesting to see the building blocks of this type of thinking so familiar to me in the 2000nds thriving in P.K.D's mind in the 1970s.

You can see his characters looking for clues in 1970s media as todays conspiracy nuts parous the internet for clues of the machinations of the illuminati.

Reading VALIS was a very interesting experience.

Believers in god(s), spirits, ghosts, astrology, etc, if you want to convince me of what you believe, don't give me arguments. I don't want arguments. I want evidence. You're not trying to convince me of an idea. You're trying to convince me of an entity, force, phenomenon, etc, that actually exists and has some sort of effect on the material world. Arguments don't prove the existence of something. Evidence does. If you don't have evidence, then I don't want to hear it.
