Writer and philosopher Chris Kutarna says that the problem with social media is not the lies, but our truths. We are addicted to weak, simple truths. And we must choose: declare that truth is dead, or resurrect stronger, richer truths together.

About the TED Institute: We know that innovative ideas and fresh approaches to challenging problems can be discovered inside visionary companies around the world. The TED Institute helps surface and share these insights. Every year, TED works with a group of select companies and foundations to identify internal ideators, inventors, connectors, and creators. Drawing on the same rigorous regimen that has prepared speakers for the TED main stage, TED Institute works closely with each partner, overseeing curation and providing intensive one-on-one talk development to sharpen and fine tune ideas.
