I support the principles, but I can't give the real implementation a passing grade.
- tehjoker 5y agoIt's popular for liberals to say things like "truth better than falsehood" but they really mean that they want to be able to control what other people read. Only half of what they think is true at a given time actually is. The other half of the equation is that the more well monied get their message out better than the unmonied. You can't use technology to fix that. Most of the conspiracies we deplore are advanced by idiots with money.

Can you conceive of a world, or even just one person, who could say "truth better than falsehood" and actually mean it? > The other half of the equation is that the more well monied get their message out better than the unmonied. There's a mixed record on this, really. Yes, massive but subtle spending can result in deep and wide dispersion of a "message". But then there's Rebecca Black and "Friday", too.
