Check "The further a society drifts from truth..." at

"Misattributed"...

"A civilization is defined

by its ability to discern

truth from falsehood."

'Camus' in a post on X.

So, what happens when every apparatus built for that purpose is systematically dismantled?

Bret Weinstein issues a stark warning:

we are living through a coordinated sabotage of our truth-seeking institutions...

This is not a minor critique:

it is a fundamental attack on the very mechanisms of a functional society.

He argues that the assault is comprehensive:

• The University System:

  Once a beacon of knowledge, now a source of unreliable research and curricula that teach verifiably false concepts as truth.

   

  The cornerstone of academic rigor has been cracked.

  
   

• Regulatory Agencies:

  These bodies have been inverted.

   

  Their purpose is no longer to protect citizens from harm, but to protect the regulators and the system from the citizens they are meant to serve.

  
   

• Scientific Integrity:

  We are left grappling in the dark on critical issues.

   

  Determining something as scientifically straightforward as the potential link between mRNA vaccines and turbo cancers should be a matter of transparent data.

   

  Instead, we are forced to rely on buried anecdotes and studies designed to fail.

This is the realization of René Descartes' deepest fear, that,

the very foundations of what we believe to be factual cannot be trusted.

We have been severed from the tools of the Enlightenment, left in a precarious state where anecdote replaces evidence and ideology replaces inquiry.

We are now navigating a world without a compass.

The predicament is not just dangerous; it is existential.

The question is no longer just "what is true?" but "how do we find out, when the paths to truth have been deliberately destroyed?"
