{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Ars Veritatis - The Art of Truth","slug":"ars-veritatis","podcastDescription":"

Truth is power. It provides answers to the questions 'how?' and 'why?'. When we realize it, it touches us, moves us and shocks us. When it can't be found, we become confused and rudderless. When it is abused, it conveys power to deceivers at greater cost to the deceived. When it is shared, it is the basis of trust. The truth requires courage, humility and clarity to find - if one can find it at all. It is a complex aspect of information, and requires a sophisticated approach to obtain, recognize, and wield.

This podcast seeks to engage in understanding what truth is, how it works, and how our information networks and technologies often do not work with it well.

I focus on writing engaging and intriguing essays with a focus on depth, novelty, and pragmatic tools to enable us all to better access and use truth to make the world a better place.

Here's what I found (spoiler, none of it was good).
