It’s Time For a Media Revolution: The GitHub Model of Truth
New times call for new ways of finding the truth
We’re in January 2020. A new virus just appeared in China. What is going to happen in the following months will reveal everything that is wrong with one of the pillars of our societies: Truth.
The COVID-19 crisis showed our society isn’t equipped with the right systems to find the truth. Our current model is broken and we need to reinvent it!
Truth Matters
In his Metaphysics, Aristotle wrote:
“To say of what is that it is not, or of what is not that it is, is false, while to say of what is that it is, and of what is not that it is not, is true”.
Truth played many different roles throughout history. It served as a source of political authority, religious doctrine, cultural common ground, and scientific thinking.
With the development of science and scientific thinking, Truth became intrinsically related to scientific and factual knowledge.
