The Truth Will Defend Itself

We often worry about how to defend the truth. How can I convince my friends, those reading my Substack, and my teachers of the truth I know? This makes sense because being a proselytizer for the CTMU is the most important thing we can do to ensure we have a Human Singularity instead of its tech antithesis (G-d forbid). Yet, in a more profound, spiritual sense, the truth wins regardless, simply because it was spoken and recognized by *someone*. Someone capable of lifting their mind high enough to see over the indoctrination and disinformation that conceals a better world.

As Soviet dissident and renowned truthteller Alexandr Solzhenitsyn said, “The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie. One word of truth outweighs the world.”

Saint Augustine: “The Truth is like a Lion. You don’t have to defend it. Let it loose. It will defend itself.”

Maimonides: “Truth does not become more true by virtue of the fact that the entire world agrees with it, nor less so even if the whole world disagrees with it.”

How do you defend what you know to be true to your peers? Do you have to?
