Thanks, I appreciate that but the experience was eye opening. Speaking of which…

Get on Facebook and watch people swap around things that are so blatantly and obviously fake. In the words of one potential investor: “no one cares”. Or, to repeat a phrase you may have heard “fake news”.

“Falsehood flies, and the Truth comes limping after it” - Jonathan Swift, 1710



On things like facebook usually our “guard” is down. We just assume at some point that if someone feeds it to us, it’s vetted already.

Usually a lot of context is missing with for instance a scary headline. In that sense context tools could also be great to have. Something that exposes connections between information.

I don’t believe no one cares tbh, but there are those who are resistant to change in bias.


Investors are dumb. See the list of people who have ftx truckloads of money. Sometimes what’s needed is a couple good sentences with create the appropriate spark in their imagination. If you can sell truth as a service, you have potentially a total addressable market of half the planet’s population.
