The blackpill view is that the CIA/ powers that be etc have gotten better at starting disinformation campaigns on fringe sites like this with the purpose of us thinking we know the real truth when its really more lies.

How do we discern truth ? How we do evaluate evidence ?

I'd love to hear people's methods for ferreting out bullshit.

Which requires good data points. What if our data points, video footage, photos, leaked stats etc are corrupted?

What if they leave breadcrumbs intentionally for us to find?

I agree with you. Theres got to be a method for processing information.

Yet after I saw what happened with Coronavirus and r/conspiracy earlier in the year and the massive disinformation spread to make truthers believe the government was covering up the virus when in reality the whole this pretty much faked , including the early alleged "coverup"I have trouble trusting even the breadcrumbs anymore.

There's got to be a method for processing information.

There is...perception (input); comprehension (processing), action (output). It's called consciousness, and there's only one input source of information...reality. But there's something the few who control the many don't want mankind to comprehend...that ones free will of choice operates in between perception and comprehension representing ones sole authority over self. That's where the few are feeding upon when one consents to their offered false authority.

"Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear."

We have to trust our intuition. Any truth is covered in a bacteria of lies, any honest information is indistinguishable in a sea of information irrelevance.

Our only option is to bring spiritual and emotional capacity into the game. Our mind is out-gunned by propaganda and kept from vital nourishment via censorship. The only panacea is to trust in yourself beyond what you've been taught by the society around you. If truth is what you seek, if it's more than just a wish and there is some action behind it, the universe will deliver you to it - because you are the universe.

I believe this. I often wonder what benefit there is to knowing the truth when its so ucj uglier than the illusion but there's something freeing about not buying into what society has told you .

Go to the classic Greek texts on critical thinking and logical fallacies, ignore the newer additions, their is only a dozen or so. A college indoctrinate I know said he was "taught" there are hundreds. I find the ancients had a clearer perspective then people today. It helps went viewing news, issues today, makes the bullshit easier to spot.

Do you have a summary list by any chance? "Classic Greek texts on critical thinking" is a large category.

You might like the topic I just posted.

IMO it boils down to rationality for what that can successfully be applied to and for everything else, being able to feel what resonates with the true you

The way I conceive of things, the information were provided with, if tapped into everything available these days is like trying to drink out of a firehose, lethal for the brain. Maybe those of us who lived through /b/ in the early aughts are uniquely able to have a flood of absolute shit and still be able to pick out the gold, but I think it comes down to two things in this case, having a well tuned bullshit detector (read as much as you can about science and history and philosophy and humanity and why we are the way we are) and pruning the sources of information you expose yourself to. For example the only subs I browsed on reddit were r/con or subs similar in theme. But reddit is just too far gone these days so this place is filling that void. You don’t ever want to cut yourself off from “the mainstream” though, if you see what they’re fixating on you have a good idea on things to look into (the whys and whos of whatever story they’re shilling on)

With the rise of technology we have seen the truth coming out more and more. Everyone has a camera in their pocket now days, so they have to put out more and more disinfo and deepfakes to throw us off the trail.

That's true. My guess is that because of the sheer volume of disinfo they need to create, their deep fakes will be shittier due to time constraints. You know like those sloppy ass ballots .

Are we within motion? If yes...how could one define an affixed truth within constant change? If no...what in all of existence cannot change?

Hello fren,

Take a little from right column. Take a little from left column (very little, Left has e letter L and so does the word Lies), and truth is usually in the middle.
