Insightful. One may even say this is “wise.”

To deconstruct…

The “Truth” is a perturbation of existential reality. And the “truth” is a figment of mind. And “integrity” is the consistency between the two. Notice that “truth” does not need to be identical to Truth, only an approximation that does not contradict.

Information is the removal of uncertainty, or the resolve of potential (as distributed among probabilities.) Notice potential and probability are different aspects of the same thing. Potential being an existential phenomena and probability as a mathematical construct.

Science is solely concerned with aligning the mental model of truth with existential Truth. Anything otherwise is the same cult worship as any branch of speculation (even constructive). Science is a guide, it is not the solution for practical understanding (that would be deductive and inductive reasoning.)

Misinformation, ignorance, and confusion are the DEFAULT STATE OF MIND (in a universe governed by entropy, that’s “potential distribution”, not “number of states”, as states are a measured resolve not the possibility of resolve.)

Can people be inoculated against misinformation? Only through self doubt, and doubt of anything that cannot be reliably measured as a resolve.

Undeceive the self! We are all ignorant, confused, and uncertain first, even the wise!
