The Truth Will Set You Free but It May Piss You Off First

Loading player...

It’s hard to know what to believe anymore. We live in what many call the ‘post-truth era.’ Some say we’ve moved beyond the information age into the age of disinformation. Fake news and conspiracy theories abound. Political correctness and cancel culture silence honest dialogue, while valid opinions are branded as hate speech. Big tech and social media giants collude with politicians to control the narrative. Algorithms feed us information we want to hear as we retreat into echo chambers that confirm our views and justify our biases.

The battle for truth is real, and it’s one we must win. Truth is absolutely essential to freedom - every dictator in history has used lies to enslave their citizens. Join Craig as he discusses the importance of seeking and speaking the truth in a society increasingly hostile to it
