Those who claim they are fighting disinformation should be fighting conjecture, but they are not fighting conjecture, they are causing it. Because they take ideology for fact, and by that are fighting freedom of speech regardless of what is true or not.

It’s ironic, but even if their ideology were 100% true, the suppression of free speech would render the ideology untrue.

Something can be true, but if you can’t speak the thing truthfully then it becomes falsehood in the mouth of the speaker 🗣️

Ideology is fundamentally not epidemic, therefore it can't be seen as a pursuit of truth.

Sure.

I’m more so just making the point that you can’t speak something true without speaking it truthfully (of your own accord with a pure heart/motive)

In a sense that's what people do when they believe something is true, even if it isn't, which is ideology.

Auxmos 2y ago

Not quite.

You just described someone speaking something false (not true) with a pure heart/motive (truthfully).

Lau 2y ago

I see people doing this often.

Auxmos 2y ago

Certainly. Happens all the time.

(As it should)

You can only get to the point to where you’re speaking truth truthfully only after you’ve consistently course corrected after years of speaking unintentional falsehood truthfully.
