S.O. 036 - On the Power of Truth, Deceit, and A Collective Hero's Journey


Listen Later

Episode 36 - Alright, we jump into this episode with a quote that envisions a revolution in the acceptance of truth en masse. The idea that if a truth is discovered and shared, it will inevitably reverberate and have massive consequences. Do you think that deception will inevitably crumble due to the fundamental perseverance and strength of conflicting truth? "If you tell the truth, you don't need to remember anything" - Mark Twain. Do you agree that lies and deceit always necessitates more energy and resources? We explore the notion of a collective hero's journey - a large scale descent into chaos as truth is revealed and crumbles failing models of reality, and a reemergence into a new more accurate model that resembles truth - if it requires less resource to maintain a true model, then the efficiency and energy required would be reduced following this collective journey and would be desired on many levels. The conversation then moves to the power the internet has had on the maintenance of untruths. We end up back towards discussing the power of art... as well as other things. The mountain of lies. Misinformation.
