How do you find balance past the horizon? Shadowy Super Coder; #nostr is the internets killer app

For your first question, consensus introduces a truth discerning process onto the indiscriminate votes of the population (democracy). Indiscriminate votes are better than blind trust in a single source, but the scientific process totally precludes indiscriminate votes from the pursuit of truth. There's a logically consistent process to arrive at a logical truth; you perform it.

Whether the pursuit is, in truth, important... is the big question. Many believe that faith is enough, even to behave on provably unprovable things.

There's only one spectrum of truth seeking, ending in science. Whether truth seeking itself is involved with the real/"meta"-truth or not (whether the ladder is actually involved with the ascension) is another question.

The ladder of truth seeking goes up from trust to democracy to consensus to science

Metaphysics is, well...it's outside of the ladder

In an AI driven media apparatus on top of a 21st century global surveillance tolerant society, content generation isn't a problem, it's easier than ever before.

What we fundamentally need is a widespread basic literacy of digital provenance.

There's a silly TV show I like where in one of the seasons, the writers would add (sometimes subtly, sometimes not) a tomato-tomahto joke into every episode.

So I'm cracking up right now 😉🤣

Gee I wonder why "hate" isn't even an option? 😡
