If your Truth is closed, then it’s a lie!

We have often heard the word, “Immovable truth” but what if the truth is not actually absolute and can be mobile. Afterall, that’s what quantum physics shows.

Throughout history, people found truth at holy places. Across diverse cultures throughout medieval times, people sought truthful accounts of the future from the Oracle at Delphi, the Osun priestess at River Osun, etc

supplicants who sought would have to travel great distances and surmount several challenges to reach these truth-spots.

These truth-spots stay put over time, and those who seek believable knowledge must travel to them — not the other way around.

In the same way, today’s religious buildings, laboratories, and courthouses are stationary places. Once built, none is easily or cheaply moved around, even though copies might be cloned from a single fixed model and built in different places.

But is longevity in a particular location always needed in order for a place to make people believe?

The inherent danger with an immovable truth-spot is the potential for political corruption. History is replete with several examples.

This is why an Open Agenda beats a closed system. Open Access enables every stakeholder to experience the same truth irrespective of location. With greater visibility, the impact can be more widespread and it becomes easier to measure and assess.

Open holds many possible benefits to our daily lives including –medical professionals having access to the latest findings, emergency response systems optimized with the most precise data, and entrepreneurs using cutting edge research for new business innovation.

No one single person or location holds the truth. The truth is then a collective, an openly sourced repository that is constantly being tested, updated and evolving.

Through the Open Agenda, the fast, free sharing of information will speed up the pace of discovery and bring new ideas to market faster — preventing diseases, creating new jobs, fueling economies, and increasing the return on our investment in research and education.

This is the bedrock of accelerated innovation. Open innovation can lead to thorny disagreements, as evidenced by the disputes between Apple and Samsung over patent violations. So far, its benefits far outweigh any drawbacks.
