What factors reduced it to a penny stock, and how can it be turned around? This article aims to set the foundation by anal
194yzing the<em> intrinsic value of truth</em>, while the following article <em>When is Lying Justified?</em> derives a model for when we may deviate from the truth. The subsequent post <em>Why is Truth Having a Hard Time? </em>explores the exact reasons for the recent decline of the value of truth in society overall, and <em>How to Save the Truth</em> provides a list of concrete measures to raise the importance of truth again. (<a href="https://follow.it/opip?leanpub" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Get alerted</a> when they are released).</span></p> 195<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">But first, in the spirit of truthfulness, itâs important to corroborate the examples above. Trumpâs case is perhaps the most straightforward, as his statements have been systematically tracked and quantified: <em>The Washington Post</em> documented 30,573 false or misleading claims (not explicitly called <em>lies</em>, as that would imply intent) during his first termâan average of about 21 per day, giving rise to a world of so-called âalternative factsâ and âpost-truth politics.â The situation is no better with Xi and Putin. Many of their statements on international matters have been thoroughly debunkedâfor example, Xi’s claims regarding the treatment of Uyghurs in Xinjiang and the origins of COVID-19, and Putin’s misrepresentation of NATO and the war in Ukraine. Fewer falsehoods about domestic affairs come to light in their cases, but only due to the severe suppression of free speech. In fact, this very suppression might be the clearest indicator of dishonesty: if you need to suppress voices, youâre not on the side of truth.</span></p> 196<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">To dispel any comfortable explanations right away, the issue doesnât <em>lie</em> with these three individuals alone. They didnât seize power through political coups, now ruling over a truth-seeking majority. Trumpâs stance on truthâevident both directly through his well-documented falsehoods and indirectly through his felonies and disregard for democratic values<sup><a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2">[2]</a></sup>âwas widely visible long before Americans freely voted him into a second term in 2024. Similarly, Putinâs approval ratings are reported to hover around 85%, a 15-point increase following his invasion of Ukraine.<sup><a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3">[3]</a></sup> Xiâs ratings arenât much lower either.<sup><a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4">[4]</a></sup> Citing state propaganda as an excuse doesnât hold up: everyone in Russia and China knows exactly what happens if they speak out openly and that corruptionâwhich thrives on lies and dishonestyâis not just widespread but deeply embedded in the system. Itâs easy to blame the leaders, but the uncomfortable truth is that itâs not themâitâs us, the people.</span></p> 197<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">However, have things really gotten worse in this respect? Human nature probably hasnât changed recently. The feeling that truth is at an all-time lowâimplying that it used to be higherâmay itself be deceptive. Could we be suffering from a distorted perception of reality, the classic âgood old daysâ syndrome? Similarly, perhaps the central question of this article series, âHow to make people care about truth <em>again,</em>â suffers from the same flaw as âMake America Great <em>Againâ</em> in that weâd need to specify what âagainâ actually refers to, revealing that the perception of a better past is just an illusion?</span></p> 198<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">The first approach to answering this question would be to look for scientific research. Unfortunately, there seems to be a lack of longitudinal studies on the subject. Most analyses of deception focus on <em>what</em> people lie about, <em>
198who</em> they lie to, and <em>why</em> they lie.<sup><a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5">[5]</a></sup> Some studies do examine lying frequency, concluding that small groups of âprolific liarsâ account for the majority of lies spread.<sup><a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6">[6]</a></sup> However, none have analyzed overall lying behavior over extended periods. Later, it will be argued that filling this gap is crucialâafter all, we can only improve what we can measureâbut for now, we need to explore other ways to approach the question.</span></p> 199<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">Returning to the example of politicians, itâs fair to say that the predecessors of all the mentioned figuresâJiang and Hu in the case of Xi, Gorbachev and Yeltsin in the case of Putin, and Bush and Obama in the case of Trumpâhad a healthier relationship with truth. Of course, this is not to say they were angels of truthâfar from it. Itâs just a comparison, and if we end up with politicians who lie less, we should see it as a positive development.<sup><a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7">[7]</a> </sup>Moreover, the issue isnât limited to these three countries. The <a href="https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/british-journal-of-political-science/article/populist-backlash-against-globalization-a-metaanalysis-of-the-causal-evidence/A672BE773701512F9F4E0B171049E4DF" target="_blank" rel="noopener">global rise of populism</a> reflects this trend for several reasons. Populist rhetoric often appeals to emotions, fears, and hopes rather than empirical evidence (âwhat feels true is trueâ). It simplifies complex issues to create âus vs. themâ narratives, often omitting inconvenient truths or distorting facts. It delegitimizes mainstream media, experts, institutions, and science as part of the âcorrupt elite,â blurring the lines between truth and falsehood. It frequently relies on a cult of personality, where personal narratives are fabricated or exaggerated to enhance appeal. And it often comes with authoritarian tendencies, as leaders seek to control the narrative through lies and propaganda. All of this points to a declining valuation of truth worldwide.</span></p> 200<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">The phrasing â<em>points to</em> a declining valuation of truthâ is accurate because these developments donât necessarily <em>prove</em> that truth itself is no longer valued. Theoretically, people could still value truth, but other factors might be considered more important. This could explain a voting behavior that appears anti-truth but isnât necessarily soâfor example, someone might think, âI donât like Trumpâs lies either, but I believe heâll be good for the economy.â<a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"><sup>[8]</sup></a> However, this explanationâan easy way out for preserving the idea that people still value truthâdoesnât hold up. Studies have shown that fact-checking Trumpâs statements had no noticeable impact on voter behavior.<sup><a href="#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9">[9]</a></sup> Instead, false claims are often either rationalized as true or dismissed with thoughts like, âAll politicians lie,â implying that once lies are told, their quantity or severity no longer matters.</span></p> 201<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">The normalization of conspiracy theoriesâsuch as QAnon or claims of widespread election fraud during the 2020 U.S. electionsâprovides further evidence of the decline in the value of truth. Once fringe beliefs, conspiracy theories have entered mainstream political discourse, indicating a shift in the publicâs threshold for credible evidence. Studies showing that many individuals struggle to distinguish between factual statements and opinions support this picture.<sup><a href="#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10">[10]</a></sup> Beyond this, numerous other developments make it highly plausible that disinformation has risen in recent years (as analyzed in the <a href="https://follow.it/opip?leanpub" target="_blank" rel="noopener">next post</a>, as well as RANDâs excellent report on <a href="https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR2314.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Truth Decay</a>). For now, for the sake of truth, thereâs no way around admitting it: there is indeed a growing disregard for truth.</span></p> 202<h2 style="margin-top: 40px;"><span style="font-size: 24pt;">Why Truth at All?</span></h2> 203<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">Truth may seem like the default starting position, where deviationsâsuch as liesâneed to be explained or justified. However, the opposite is the case: we weren’t born with a built-in commitment to truth, but learned this concept over many years. It comes at a cost: thinking critically takes effort, often slowing down decision-making and requiring self-discipline, unlike the much easier âanything goesâ mindset. So, to understand why truth is under pressure today, we first need to step back and consider why we value it at all.</span></p> 204<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">Many reasons for valuing truth can be summed up as <strong>benefits from better models</strong> <strong>of reality</strong>. Truth is grounded in <em>facts</em>, and knowing the facts helps us navigate the world. Either there is a lion behind the hill, or there isnâtâitâs very useful to know. Truth also enables us to <em>learn</em>: we take action, reality provides feedback, and we adjust our future decisions accordingly. This isnât just a rational processâour emotions are directly involved as well. We feel good when we improve our models, even if we havenât yet used them for anything. Einstein described his realization that a person in free fall does not feel their own weight as the âhappiest thought of his life.â This emotional reward likely evolved because, over time, organisms with more accurate models of reality had a survival advantage. As a result, nature âwiredâ us to feel immediate satisfaction from discovering truth, even before we put it to use.</span></p> 205<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">This value comes not only from better individual models but also from societyâs collective models: the <em>scientific endeavor</em> is our collaborative effort to get closer to the truth. We owe almost everything to it: our technology, higher life expectancy, reduced violence, and much more, resulting in an extremely high quality of life compared to historical standards. We must always remind ourselves of this; itâs incredibly easy to take our current situation for granted and forget that only the continued quest for truth made it all possible.</span></p> 206<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">The second main group of benefits is <strong>social benefits</strong>
206âhow others react to the way we handle truth. People donât like being lied to because it makes their own quest for truth more difficult (exceptions are discussed further below), so they often punish dishonesty. These punishments can take many forms, from parents applying physical discipline or taking away a childâs privileges to friends distancing themselvesâafter all, no one seeks the company of a compulsive liar. As social animals, we learn these rules quickly, making social benefits just as important as the benefits of improved models.</span></p> 207<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">Building on these two pillars are a range of effects that further reinforce the value of truth. Once we get a taste of it, our appetite only grows. For example, if we improve our models by learning about science, we become even more eager to close knowledge gapsâlike a stamp collector with only a few missing pieces to complete a collection (at least it feels that way, which is all that matters). Similar reinforcing effects occur with social benefits. A society that highly values truth tends to punish those who go against it more severelyâfor example, through ostracizationâencouraging even more people to stick to the truth. The same happens within ourselves: once we understand the value of truth, lying can feel even worse, as it brings guilt. Closely related to this, being honest with ourselves is another important dimension of truthâwe donât feel good if we canât look into the eyes of the person in the glass.<sup><a href="#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11">[11]</a></sup></span></p> 208<h2 style="margin-top: 40px;"><span style="font-size: 24pt;">But itâs Still Just a Tool</span></h2> 209<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">All the above are good, plausible, and solid reasons for sticking to the truth, right? Yes, yes, and noâthey are indeed good and plausible, but they are not solid. If we read carefully, none of these points value truth <em>intrinsically</em>; they all treat it as a means to an end. While they make a strong case for why truth benefits us, it inevitably raises the question of whether we should stay loyal to the truth if circumstances happen to be a little different.</span></p> 210<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">This question is far less hypothetical than it soundsâwe lie all the time. For those who doubt this, the following statements might help refresh the memory: âIâm busy,â âYour email was in my junk folder,â âYour baby is cute,â âThis meal is delicious,â âYouâre improving a lot,â âI didnât spend much on it,â âI like that thing you created,â âYou donât look fat in those pants at all,â âI love you,â âWhat a nice gift,â and many others. Lying also tends to increase in certain situations, with dating being a prime example. Or, what about the simple âIâm doing fineâ? When grieving the loss of a loved one, answering truthfully can open the door to a conversation that feels too difficult to have. In such cases, most would agree that âIâm fineâ is an acceptable response, even if it isnât true.</span></p> 211<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">In ways like this, we <em>bend the truth</em> all the time. This article just did it as well: âBending the truthâ is not the truth but a deviation from the facts. Similarly, we tend to <em>smooth the edges</em>âa euphemism that, like many others, often involves a degree of dishonesty, as George Carlin aptly <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuEQixrBKCc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pointed out</a>. Such smoothing can be very useful, as it lubricates social interactions. Yet, once again, it deviates from the truth.</span></p> 212<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">The classic way to defend such lies is by calling them âwhite liesââsmall distortions of the truth that are considered acceptable because they supposedly cause no real damage. However, white can quickly turn into grey or black (or even <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/the-nature-of-deception/202301/what-are-blue-lies-and-why-do-people-tell-them" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blue</a>); and like all colors, theyâre in the <a href="https://opip.lol/colors-reality-and-the-twin-paradox/">eye of the beholder</a>. The potentially slippery slope of white lies will be explored in <em><a href="https://follow.it/opip?leanpub" target="_blank" rel="noopener">When is Lying Justified?</a> </em></span></p> 213<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">Moreover, we donât only accept white lies. If we were living in Germany in 1943, and the Nazis asked whether we were hiding Jews in the attic, we would hopefully not adhere to Immanuel Kantâs <em>categorical imperative</em>, which insists on telling the truth at all times. Other examples of lying to protect someone include withholding the truth from a suicidal person about their spouseâs infidelity or taking the blame for something to shield another (âI took the $100â). Likewise, if our 100-year-old terminally ill grandmother finds emotional comfort in believing she will soon be reunited in heaven with her recently deceased husband, responding with âGranny, stop talking nonsenseâ wouldnât feel right. If we have some heart, not only would we not contradict, but might even gently affirm her belief with an occasional, perhaps softened, âyes.â<sup><a href="#_ftn12" name="_ftnref12">[12]</a></sup></span></p> 214<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">We also frequently lie to ourselves. When we donât get what we want, a nonch
214alant âI didnât want it anywayâ can help us move on more quickly. At the very least, we focus on the negative aspects of what we didnât get (or lost) or the positive aspects of not getting it (or losing it), distorting the true picture. If we were to criticize this kind of thinking, the question arises: whatâs the alternative? Dwelling on past disappointments and getting upset over things we can no longer change anymore only drains our energy. Instead, staying positive and looking ahead helps us tackle future challenges. Itâs hard to condemn this mindset. For the purpose of this article, however, the key point is that, once again, weâre deviating from the truth.</span></p> 215<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">Truth is often avoided for a simple reason: it can hurtâa lot. In fact, it may be what hurts us most <em>psychologically</em> (weâre not talking about <em>physical</em> pain here). This becomes especially clear when someone criticizes us with entirely made-up claims; we can often shrug them off or even laugh because theyâre so absurd. But when they expose an uncomfortable truth, it hits a nerve. As the 13th-century Persian poet Rumi said, âThe wound is the place where the Light enters you.â Thatâs why itâs so hard to face the truth about ourselvesâand why speaking the truth about others can be dangerous. Literature is full of characters who suffered for telling the truth (e.g., Oedipus, Prometheus)<sup><a href="#_ftn13" name="_ftnref13">[13]</a></sup>, although we certainly donât need fiction to find such cases. Most people forgive us our shortcomings, mistakes, and much else (more than we tend to think<a href="#_ftn14" name="_ftnref14"><sup>[14]</sup></a>)âbut very few forgive us for speaking the truth.</span></p> 216<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">In most cases, truth is also for sale. If we were offered $100 to tell an innocuous lie, would we agree to it? If we decline out of steadfast noble principles, letâs put them to the test: what about $1,000? What about a billion? With a billion dollars, we could do immense good in the worldâwould refusing this offer not be the more morally questionable decision? Almost everything has a price<sup><a href="#_ftn15" name="_ftnref15">[15]</a></sup>, including truth, and for good reasonâraising, once again, the question of how much truth there really is in the principle of always telling the truth.</span></p> 217<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">Other cases where lies are commonplace and widely accepted include childhood myths (Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy), lies as self-defense (such as in cases of extortion), and comical statements made in jest (âThis is the best article on truth everâ). Lies are also used for positive surprises (e.g., pretending to forget a birthday to set up a surprise party) and to bypass bureaucratic hassles (e.g., exaggerating symptoms to receive quicker medical attention in an overwhelmed healthcare system). These are just a few examples of how lying is normalized in everyday life.</span></p> 218<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">There are also cases that donât involve outright lies but still conceal the truthâsuch as shielding children from the details of a horrific accident.<sup><a href="#_ftn16" name="_ftnref16">[16]</a></sup> Or what about wearing clothes? Itâs literally a cover-up. Of course, we certainly wouldnât accuse someone of hiding the truth just because theyâre dressed. But this isnât about blame; itâs simply another example of how we take measures to keep certain truths hiddenâsomething society not only accepts but actively expects from us. When it comes to exposing ourselvesânot just physically, but emotionallyâthere are often legitimate reasons to hold back the truth.</span></p> 219<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">What about the growing reverence for actorsâwho received hardly any social recognition 100 years ago<a href="#_ftn17" name="_ftnref17"><sup>[17]</sup></a>âwhose main job is to pretend to be someone they are not? Of course, actors shouldnât be accused of deception: there is a mutual understanding that they are portraying a role. In fact, their goal is often to convey that role as truthfully and realistically as possible, reveal
219ing deeper truths about the subject they portray. In other words, deviating from literal truth can sometimes serve to reveal more profound truths, much like fairy tales or fiction often do. Such casesâwhere truth may be sacrificed to achieve a greater truthâwill be elaborated later. For now, this provides yet another example of how deviation from truth is not only commonplace but widely accepted.</span></p> 220<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">Considering the wide range of ways we deviate from the truth, is there any way to preserve the idea of its intrinsic value? One attempt might be to argue that all the cases mentioned are merely exceptions to an otherwise stable rule. But how true can a rule be if it has so many exceptions? In fact, it takes far less to make us skepticalâin science and rational thinking, a single exception is enough to falsify a rule, as will be explored in <em><a href="https://follow.it/opip?leanpub" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On Rules and Laws</a></em>.</span></p> 221<h2 style="margin-top: 40px;"><span style="font-size: 24pt;">The Rationality of Being Irrational</span></h2> 222<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">To emphasize the above point even further, letâs look at some cases where people go to great lengths to avoid knowing the truth. A striking example is the story of televangelist Peter Popoff, who astonished audiences by claiming to receive divine revelations about their personal details, illnesses, and addresses. However, skeptic James Randi and his team exposed the truth: Popoff was using an earpiece to receive information from his wife, who had gathered it beforehand from prayer cards filled out by attendees. The reaction of Popoffâs followers was astonishing. Instead of directing their anger at him, many turned on those who had exposed the scamâfeeling their hopes had been shattered.</span></p> 223<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">Another revealing story is that of psychologist Ray Hyman, who participated in a test of applied kinesiologyâa method in which practitioners claim to determine whether a substance is “good” or “bad” for a person based on muscle resistance. In the test, practitioners placed drops of either glucose or fructose on volunteersâ tongues, then pushed down on their arms to see if they could resist. If the volunteerâs arm held firm, the sugar was deemed âgoodâ; if not, it was considered âbad.â This is a well-known trick with no scientific basis. To evaluate its validity, researchers conducted double-blind testsâneither the practitioners nor the volunteers knew which type of sugar was being used. The results were clear: there was no connection between muscle resistance and the type of sugar given. When these findings were announced, the head practitioner turned to Dr. Hyman and said, âYou see, that is why we never do double-blind testing anymore. It never works!â At first, Dr. Hyman thought he was joking. But from the practitioner’s perspective, the conclusion was entirely logical: since he already “knew” applied kinesiology worked, the only possible explanation was that there was something wrong with the scientific method.<a href="#_ftn18" name="_ftnref18"><sup>[18]</sup></a></span></p> 224<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">Such reactions, however, are only surprising to outsidersâthose who fail to grasp whatâs really happening. If we were in a situation where such a belief brought significant value, chances are weâd respond in the same way. Similarly, many peopleâs circumstancesâshaped by their genes, upbringing, personal experiences, and social circleânaturally position them to see belief in a <em>higher power</em> as a source of immense benefit. This can mean an endless source of hope or a way to transform the fear of death into anticipation of eternal bliss. Arguably even more important is the alignment with oneâs social circle. Abandoning a deeply ingrained belief can feel like breaking ties with almost everything close to oneâs heartâoneâs past convictions, friends, extended family, and most painfully, oneâs parents. Turning away from them may feel almost impossible, considering they gave us life and, hopefully, a great deal of love as well. In such circumstances, who wouldnât live the hell out of that story of heaven?</span></p> 225<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">
225Many so-called ârationalâ thinkers struggle to understand thisâand in doing so, become a little less rational themselves. Itâs amusing to hear them say they canât understand why people think the Earth is 6,000 years old, only to conclude that those believers are simply irrational. But theyâve admitted it themselves: they <em>donât understand it</em>. And as always, when we donât understand something, we should think about it until it makes perfect sense to us. We live in a world of cause and effect, and if people hold views that seem irrational, there must be a perfectly logicalâor rationalâreason behind them. Only by understanding the problem deeplyâwhich often requires stepping into the opposite mindset (something many people find difficult)âcan we engage with it meaningfully. By simply dismissing ostensibly irrational belief systemsâor worse, calling their believers “stupid”<a href="#_ftn19" name="_ftnref19"><sup>[19]</sup></a>âthe so-called rational person becomes the truly irrational.<a href="#_ftn20" name="_ftnref20"><sup>[20]</sup></a></span></p> 226<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">Itâs easy to make this mistake when we overlook how different our incentive systems are. Many of us have gone through a long educational system that repeatedly rewarded truthfulness and penalized deviationâan experience that others may not have had to the same extent. Weâve built a social circle where expressing flat Earth views or belief in miracles would get us ostracizedâor at least met with strange looksâwhile for others, itâs the exact opposite. On top of that, there are cumulative effects: in circles where truth is highly valued, it can even become a kind of âcultââwhere knowing more facts than others places one higher in the hierarchy. This is something we simply donât experienceânor strive forâif our social circle doesnât reward it and if we gave up on being the most erudite person in the room a long time ago.</span></p> 227<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">Incidentally, a key reason we believe in the importance of truth is that everybody seems to agree on it. Of course, what the truth is is often hotly debated, but its importance itself is rarely questioned. Ironically, this message is often louder among those who are furthest from the truth. An internet search for âflat earth truthâ returns more hits than âround earth truth.â Similarly, a search for âseeking truthâ leads to a multitude of religious sites, each emphasizing truth repeatedly. However, when someone declares âThis is the truthâ over and over, it should make us skeptical. A genuine truth seeker focuses on building arguments and presenting evidence, trusting that their reasoning will naturally lead people to the right conclusionânot insistently reinforcing a desired outcome like a relentless litany. This may be a form of offensive defenseâanticipating the inevitable objection that their claim contradicts facts and aiming to make themselves and others believe it through sheer repetition (which can be highly effective) or at least blurring the lines between truth and falsehood.<sup><a href="#_ftn21" name="_ftnref21">[21]</a></sup></span></p> 228<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">As Jeremy Bentham pointed out, we are steered by the <em>masters of pleasure and pain</em>, and in a way, prisoners within the cage of our incentive system. To illustrate this, letâs consider an extreme example: Imagine we were offered every conceivable goodâparadise on earth, reunion with lost loved ones, the undoing of every past wrong, and eternal bliss for ourselves and every living being on the planet. All of this would be ours in exchange (thereâs always a catch!) for a single hour of torture. It would be difficult to argue against accepting such a deal. However, imagine we couldnât commit in advance but were instead asked repeatedly during the hour of suffering whether we wanted to quit, ending the pain immediately. If the torture was âdone right,â no one would be able to endure it.</span></p> 229<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">While sticking to the truth involves much weaker rewards and punishments, the same principle holds. We are bound by our incentive system, and we value the truth only insofar as it serves our goals. When the truth aligns with our incentives, we use itâwhen it doesnât, we donât. In this respect, there is hardly any difference between people; the difference lies in how our incentive systems happen to be shaped.</span></p> 230<h2 style="margin-top: 40px;"><span style="font-size: 24pt;">The End of Accountability? </span></h2> 231<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">Many rational, truth-seeking readers may not like the above because it seems to diminishâor even dismantleâthe importance of truth. So what, then, is the conclusion? Can we simply lie whenever we want, deflecting any criticism by saying, âItâs just a result of the incentive system I happen to be trapped inâ? Can that be right?</span></p> 232<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">First, disliking what has been said is irrelevantâitâs not about what readers of this article like or dislike. This type of reasoning is precisely what rational people criticize when others believe or spread falsehoods based on emotions. This article seeks to explore the truth by putting all facts on the table. We should remain objective, verify whether these facts are indeed the facts, and think about what conclusions can be drawn from them.</span></p> 233<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">Second, sometimes it is wiser to tear down a structureâwhether a physical building or the construct of our attitude toward truthâto rebuild it on a stronger foundation. Telling people to always stick to the truth is not built on solid ground: they will quickly respond by listing the many ways we frequently deviate from the truth, causing us to lose our footing rather quickly. We need to think more deeply about better guiding principles for handling truthâwhich is what this article series aims to explore.</span></p> 234<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">Third, showing understanding for why people deviate from the truth can be key to addressing the issue. The opposite approachâdismissing others with âtheyâre just badââdoes nothing to advance progress. Quite the opposite: approaching people this way only triggers their defenses and ensures they wonât change their views. The key lies in understanding their situation (and even showing empathy) while helping them see greater value in truth. At first, this may sound a little naïve or overly soft, but it isnât. Punishmentsâincluding drastic onesâcan be just as valid a tool to âhelpâ people see more value in truth as rewards. More about this in <em>How to Save the Truth</em>.</span></p> 235<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">Fourth, the decision about which actions to take isnât solely determined by our incentive system, so we cannot use this as an excuse to lie. The <em>time horizon</em> of our actionsâ implications also plays a key role;
235 two people can have identical incentive systems yet think very differently about the balance between short- and long-term goals. Those who can delay short-term gratification in favor of long-term gains will inevitably reach different conclusions about what to do. This is especially relevant in the context of truth, as understanding and valuing truth often require a long-term perspective. If we focus only on the present, we wonât care that a lion is lurking behind the hill if weâre only concerned with the next 10 seconds of our lives. From this perspective, the rise of short-term gratification toolsâsuch as the internet providing instant pleasure through funny cat videos, pleasing tweets, or pornâmay have contributed to the erosion of long-term thinking and, consequently, a diminished regard for truth.</span></p> 236<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">Closely related to this, a key question is whether our incentive system accounts for the interests of others in some way. If we care only about ourselves, then our time horizon for our actionsâwhich may impact many future generationsâshrinks to however many years we expect to have left. An 80-year-old politician who only thinks of himself may consider only the short-term implications of his actionsâperhaps the next 10 to 15 yearsâand find it much easier to deny facts that will materialize further in the future, such as climate change.<a href="#_ftn22" name="_ftnref22"><sup>[22]</sup></a> The relationship between truth, long-term thinking, and egoism will be elaborated further in <em>Why is Truth Having a Hard Time?</em>.</span></p> 237<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">Thereâs also a fifth point that needs to be mentioned in the context of our discomfort with denying truth any intrinsic value. A key distinction in ethical decision-making is the <em>difference between </em><em>theory and practice</em>. To analyze something clearlyâwithout cluttering our mindsâwe first need to examine it in isolation, from a purely theoretical, <em>ceteris paribus</em> (all other things being equal) perspective. In the second step, we consider how our assessment changes in practice, where many other factors come into play. Itâs like an experiment in a laboratory, shielded from outside influences, where the subject is treated as if in a vacuum to understand its core characteristics. This distinction is discussed in greater detail in the concept of âThe Wall of the 1,000 Filtersâ in the free eBook <a href="https://increasinghappiness.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The History, Present and Future of Happiness</a> (from page 92). So far, the analysis in this article has remained purely theoretical. Thus, stating that truth lacks intrinsic value does not imply that we can ignore it in practiceâin fact, adhering to truth may still be a highly useful rule. Paradoxically, even if we conclude that truth has no intrinsic value in theory, in practice, it may still be beneficial to claim that it doesâwhich, ironically, would be a lie in itself but potentially a useful one. More about this in <em>When is Lying Justified?</em></span></p> 238<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">Another way to make it clear that truth cannot have truly intrinsic value is the following: Letâs imagine we ask someone why they believe truth has intrinsic value. One type of response might be that it cannot be questionedâa simple rule we must follow, passed down by parents, philosophers, or scripture. This âsomeone else said soâ or âjust becauseâ type of reasoning clearly cannot be a valid argument (as will be elaborated in <a href="https://follow.it/opip?leanpub" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>On Rules and Laws</em></a>). Another response might be: âTruth is valuable becauseâ¦â followed by an explanation of what it aims to achieve. At that point, the specific reasons no longer matterâbecause by answering in this way, one implicitly acknowledges that truth serves a deeper objective, making it non-intrinsic.</span></p> 239<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">Assigning truth intrinsic value is not only incorrect in theory but also poses real-life dangers in practice. Since this idea can be easily refuted, it risks undermining the very value we derive from truth. For example, if we emphasize the absolute importance of never lying and then inevitably get caught telling an innocuous lie (as discussed earlier), some may take this as justification to reject truth altogetherâfailing to stick to it when it truly matters.</span></p> 240<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">Another danger arises when sticking to the truth is used as a justification to cause harm for personal gain. For instance, letâs revisit the case where Nazis ask where Jews are hidden. At the time, many people had a personal interest in denouncing Jewsâwhether to seize their property, retaliate over past conflicts, or act out of jealousy toward the wealth they had accumulated through hard work. Such individuals could expose the Jewsâ location and justify it by saying, âI donât want to lie! Iâm just sticking to the truth!â In other words, they <em>hide behind the truth</em>. Rather than relying on rigid rules, we must take responsibility for considering whether our actions do good or cause harm. To answer this chapterâs title question, âThe End of Accountability?ââNo, this is not the end of accountability, but the beginning.</span></p> 241<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">The bottom line is this: The truth about truth is that itâs not about truth. Does that mean we can ignore truth altogether? Noâbut it is crucial to understand why, and when deviating from the truth may be justified. The next post, <em>When is Lying Justified?</em>, aims to build a model and decision tree to answer these questions.</span></p> 242<div class="buttons"><a class="share-button share-button--rate" href="https://rateitall.com/reviews/the-truth-about-truth" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><br /> 243<img decoding="async" class="share-button__icon" src="https://opip.lol/wp-content/themes/opip/images/icon-rateitall.svg" alt="icon rateitall" /><br /> 244<span class="share-button__text">Rate & discuss this</span><br /> 245</a><br /> 246<a class="share-button share-button--follow" href="https://follow.it/opip?leanpub" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><br /> 247<img decoding="async" class="share-button__icon" src="https://opip.lol/wp-content/themes/opip/images/icon-followit.svg" alt="icon followit" /><br /> 248<span class="share-button__text">Follow this blog</span><br /> 249</a></div> 250<p> </p> 251<p>—</p> 252<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;"><a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1">[1]</a> The reference to political figures in this article, particularly Donald Trump, is not an endorsement or condemnation of any political stance.

252ssed belowâwould be difficult to support with evidence.</span></p> 253<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;"><a href="#_ftnref2" name="_ftn2">[2]</a> Democratic values often align with respect for truth, as democracy is built on informed decision-making, accountability, and the rule of law. Moreover, <em>debate</em> is central to any democratic systemâand meaningful debate requires a foundation of facts.</span></p> 254<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;"><a href="#_ftnref3" name="_ftn3">[3]</a> Naturally, in an environment dominated by state-controlled media and suppression of dissent, obtaining truly reliable approval ratings is challenging. The reported 85% approval rating comes from the <a href="https://www.levada.ru/en/ratings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Levada Center</a>, a Russian polling organization that claims to be independent. While such figures should be met with skepticism, there are reasons to believe they are not entirely fabricatedâunlike the likely inflated numbers from state-run agencies such as VTsIOM. Notably, Levada has previously reported lower approval ratings for Putin, which would not align with the Kremlinâs interests if it were merely a propaganda tool. Furthermore, independent international studies, such as <a href="https://www.norc.org/research/projects/russian-public-opinion-wartime.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Russian Public Opinion in Wartime</a> by NORC at the University of Chicago, have also found strong public support for Putin, lending credibility to these findings. For additional context, see Wikipediaâs entry: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_image_of_Vladimir_Putin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Public Image of Vladimir Putin</a>.</span></p> 255<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;"><a href="#_ftnref4" name="_ftn4">[4]</a> Finding reliable statistics on Xi Jinpingâs popularity is even more difficult than for Putin, given Chinaâs tight control over information, state-run media, censorship, and the absence of independent polling. A 2014 <a href="https://thediplomat.com/2014/12/the-worlds-most-popular-leader-chinas-president-xi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">survey</a> by the Harvard Kennedy Schoolâs Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation found that Xi received a composite rating of 8.7 out of 10, suggesting strong domestic support. However, such high approval ratings may be influenced by a lack of truly anonymous polling. <a href="https://dornsife.usc.edu/news/stories/chinese-communist-party-support-lower-when-surveys-anonymous/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Studies using indirect questioning methods</a> indicate that while overall approval remains significant, it likely falls within the 50â70% range when anonymity is assured.</span></p> 256<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;"><a href="#_ftnref5" name="_ftn5">[5]</a> Serota, K. et al.

Itâs a harsh thought, but this article is about the truthâand truth can be harsh at times. This also highlights an important aspect: the impact of a lie depends on its context, duration, and reach. A lie told at the beginning of someoneâs life can profoundly shape their world, while a lie near the end may simply offer comfort with little lasting consequenceâas will be explored later.</span></p> 284<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;"><a href="#_ftnref13" name="_ftn13">[13]</a> Compliments for showing interest in this footnote. In Sophoclesâ <em>Oedipus Rex</em>, <strong>Oedipus</strong> relentlessly pursues the truth about the plague afflicting Thebes, only to discover that he himself is the causeâhaving unwittingly killed his father and married his mother. Though others, including his wife-mother Jocasta, beg him to abandon his search, he refuses, determined to uncover the truth. Once revealed, this knowledge leads to his downfall: Jocasta takes her own life, and Oedipus blinds himself in despair before going into exile. In Aeschylusâ <em>Prometheus Bound</em>, <strong>Prometheus</strong> suffers for speaking a different kind of truthâone that defies the gods. After stealing fire from Olympus and giving it to humanity, he also prophesies that Zeusâs rule is not as secure as the god believes. For daring to empower humans and for revealing a truth Zeus does not want to hear, Prometheus is chained to a rock, where an eagle eats his liver daily, only for it to regenerate each nightâan eternal punishment for his defiance.</span></p> 285<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;"><a href="#_ftnref14" name="_ftn14">[14]</a> We tend to underestimate how much others forgive us due to the âspotlight effectââa psychological phenomenon in which individuals overestimate the extent to which their actions and appearance are noticed by others. This egocentric bias makes people feel as though they are under constant social scrutiny, even when they are not. For more on this, see Mu, F., Bobocel, D.R. (2019): â<a href="https://uwaterloo.ca/fairness-at-work-lab/sites/default/files/uploads/files/why_did_i_say_sorry_apology_motives_and_transgressor_perceptions_of_reconciliation.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Why did I say sorry?

Outraged, he asks, âWhat? Donât you have any decent women in this town?â to which someone replies, âOh, we do! But those are <em>very</em> expensive.â</span></p> 287<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;"><a href="#_ftnref16" name="_ftn16">[16]</a> There are also other situations where we donât speak the truth, yet itâs unclear whether they qualify as lies. For example, someone might say, âChristopher Columbus discovered America in 2013,â unintentionally mixing up the years 2013 and 1492. Conventionally, a lie requires intent to deceive, so this wouldnât be considered a lie. However, by this logic, the question, âIs the statement that Christopher Columbus discovered America in 2013 a lie?â must be answered with, âIt depends,â as it hinges on whether the statement was made deliberately to misleadâwhich also makes the question of whether it is a lie dependent on who made it. This highlights how tricky it can be to define lies. Regardless, the bottom line remains: if we include such cases, we speak even more falsehoodsâintentionally or notâthan previously considered. Our task is to reduce falsehoods overall, even when no bad intentions are involved.

The point above refers specifically to situations where an individualâs incentive system is structured in a way that logically explains actions that may not align with objective truth. However, this does not apply to cases where someone acts against their own incentive system due to a failure to grasp the consequences of their actionsâsuch as supporting ideas, leaders, or policies that demonstrably harm them. In such instances, the term stupidity is entirely appropriate.</span></p> 291<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;"><a href="#_ftnref20" name="_ftn20">[20]</a>
291 This also applies to so-called âparadoxesââwhich are not true paradoxes but rather reflections of our limited understanding of how they arise. For example, the existence of deeply religious scientists may initially seem contradictory, as science is typically associated with skepticism, evidence-based reasoning, and a willingness to revise beliefs, while religion is often linked to faith and adherence to spiritual doctrines. However, this perceived contradiction assumes that people apply the same style of thinking to every aspect of their livesâa premise that falls apart upon closer examination. In reality, people often compartmentalize different ways of thinking depending on context. If an individualâs incentive structure aligns such that scientific reasoning maximizes their professional success, while faith-based reasoning enhances their emotional well-being or sense of purpose, then this dualism is not only understandable but entirely logical.</span></p> 292<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;"><a href="#_ftnref21" name="_ftn21">[21]</a> The blurring of lines between truth and falsehood is epitomized in the following anecdote. While generating cover images for this blog post, AI was used. After a few iterations, the AI began replacing the word âTruthâ with âTrumpâ (see the conversation <a href="https://chatgpt.com/share/678e94ce-d418-8010-b9ec-83a96e968496" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>). After the initial shock settled, the reasons behind this mistake were explored. The origin of this issue may be similar to the well-documented observation that AI-generated images of clocks almost always display the hands at 10:10 (as described <a href="https://monochrome-watches.com/just-because-editorial-10-past-10-position-of-hands-so-deeply-rooted-in-watchmaking-ai-only-generate-this-even-if-asked-different/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>). Since AI relies on training data, and most pictures of clocks feature 10:10âa position commonly used in advertising (as explained <a href="https://petapixel.com/2022/05/17/the-science-behind-why-watches-are-set-to-1010-in-advertising-photos/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>)âAI adopted it as a default pattern. In the case of âTruthâ and âTrump,â the explanation could be similar: the word âTrumpâ has been extremely prevalent in media over the past few years, often appearing in discussions related to truthâwhether in Trumpâs own references to truth, reports on his stance toward truth, or the branding of âTruth Social.â However, despite its typographic similarity, truth (and also trust) is a fundamentally different conceptâone that must never be conflated with Trump.</span></p> 293<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;"><a href="#_ftnref22" name="_ftn22">[22]</a> Obviously, this isnât referring to Donald Trump because, at the time of writing, he is 78 years old, not 80.
