Trust is at an all time low. Across the board, people have lost trust in almost every major institution: Government - every branch and both local and national, Education - every level, Medicine, and even Church. Why is this? My belief is that it is largely due to the culture of promoting “personal truth” even when it contradicts actual literal TRUTH. I asked ChatGPT on OpenAI.com this question: Can truth contradict itself? And the answer it gave was straightforward: No, truth cannot contradict itself. If something contradicts itself, it is not true. A statement or idea that contradicts itself is considered to be logically inconsistent or self-contradictory. Two statements that contradict each other cannot both be true at the same time and in the same way. When institutions require us to accept something that is not TRUE and acknowledge it as equal to what is TRUE, then we can longer Trust that institution. The next time you are dealing with a social issue just remind yourself that Truth cannot contradict itself. Choose the Truth - Choose To Win! Tom |
