"What is truth?" It sounds like a simple question, but it might be the most difficult one humanity has ever asked. From Pontius Pilate to modern scientific debates, defining what is "real" has always been a battleground. But have you ever stopped to consider that the "truth" you see is being filtered through language, power, and ideology?
In this video, we dismantle the concept of truth to reveal why it is not just about facts. We explore the crucial—and often overlooked—difference between Truth and Validity (and why a true confession obtained through torture is still invalid). We examine how Science, Art, and Common Sense offer contradicting paths to reality, and how the power to decide "what is true" has shifted from kings to priests to experts.
Finally, we propose a new ethical framework based on a powerful idea: truth shouldn't just be factually correct; it must be liberating.
Watch until the end to discover the one question we should be asking instead of "What is truth?" to build a more humane world.
