Sog no lie

It's a JOKE.  Next?

So, what I'm experiencing and what this thread seems to confirm is that the Apple Watch is revealing itself as a space that won't be polluted with a bunch of unnecessary apps and data gathering.  That's not a fail!  That's a fascinating development and perhaps a natural line in the sand.  Could it be?

I'm buying more Liquid Metal stock.

It's so many fake news and lies in the media on a daily basis, and Trump is one of the worst. So news by objective journalism is much needed, who can you trust these dayes? I think only objective journalism should be supported by Appe news. 

Apples DNA is against all that Trump stands for so FU if you are a Trump supporter.

The truth doesn't require human belief in order to exist, but BS does.  If Apple undertakes anything in this area, it should be built and offered as a template for credible information.

Sensationalism to sell copy or ads or help political candidates is nothing new.  The broader issue that seems at stake is this, please forgive me if I don't describe it well.  In a democracy, if a majority holds a certain belief, it doesn't have to be accurate to serve a purpose.  From a voting perspective, mass uniform belief = success or failure.  Further, a lot of folks will willingly believe BS if they are convinced it'll benefit them.  That's why we have an industry called Marketing.  Because people can be and are routinely manipulated for a purpose.  This should be enough to convince anyone that there is a good chance what they think is wrong.

Truth is increasingly slippery.  It's as if in the digital age, we've done to truth what the quantum physicists did to matter.  We're taking truth apart to the point where it's a probability matrix, free to interpretation.  Rules of evidence collapse and reality becomes a matter of majority interpretation.  This is happening in real time and it's pretty damned scary.

At the end of the day, the whole human adventure is an intelligence test.  If for instance, the GOP's collective belief about climate change happens to be wrong, and the North Atlantic current slows and international weather patterns change enough to disrupt agricultural production, then starvation will be a reality.  The "truth" will catch up with us.
