The Surprising Truth About Lying
“I used to,” Henry said. “Now I want to blow the
boxes up. I have the proof that the city lied about the
train crash to save a politician and a few rich
developers. But if I post it, they kill the message before
lunch.”
Lina finally stopped typing, pausing mid-keystroke.
“You don’t get it, old man. They don’t kill the message
anymore. They kill the context. They flood the zone
with fifty other messages. They make everything seem
equally true, so nothing is. They win by exhaustion,
not censorship.”
“Exactly,” Henry countered. “So we change the
terms. We don’t just leak the data; we build a tool that
strips the context away from everything. An AI that
only delivers the absolute, verifiable facts, zero spin,
zero emotional language, zero hope, zero fear. Just the
cost.”
“That’s not disruption. That’s digital violence. A
pure fact is a weapon. You think people can handle
that?”
“They demanded the truth, didn’t they?” Henry
shot back. “They wanted courage over comfort. We
give it to them, whether they like the taste or not.”
