What is the truth? I read a post from someone I often read yesterday talking about being told to temper their politics. They were told to visit some extremely far left sites. I have wandered a few of those, as well as a few of the far right posts but I don’t go to either anymore. Part of that is the reality of having security clearance. You cannot go to sites like that without accepting there is a risk in doing so. But what worries me is the reality of the information presented. The honesty of far-right sites is well low. The honesty of far left sites as well, low, The issue is that people throw around information from both sides without taking the time to understand both sides. There is a whole lot of hate we don’t need to increase it.
I won’t go further except to say, the far left and the far right’s agenda lead them to dishonesty. Dishonesty to make a point, actually destroy the point. When presenting a case, it is always best not to exaggerate.
I do see more game changers coming. More shifts to the right in technology that are going to be in the end things we remember long after the market moves on. I’ve broken the IoT market into three distinct categories the first being Wearable, the second being Stayable and third being too large to wear and but something you need to have Portable.
In the past five years, Portable has come the furthest. Yes, I realize that is not only a statement but also a double entendre. Portable before the wearable explosion was the only device with you so it would have traveled the most physical distance as well as having come the furthest because the portable phone revolution has, in the end, created the reality of the IoT.

Dishonesty is everywhere, not just politics.
My grandfather always said “know what they gain by lying.” That issue I have right now is I do not see any gain to all the various lies.
I never had seen any gain from lies. It destroys relationships and anything else it touches.
There are sadly gains. Sometimes lying at the right moment can prevent the police arresting you (read Robert Valasco).
Politics, that’s exactly what is happening in my country right now, ahead of next year’s elections.
It is a sad state of affairs globally right now.
Agree. That’s the human inclination for ages. Do you think it becomes worse or always such indeed?
I suspect it has always been this way, we just have no lag (open mouth, the world hears) now in communication. It hasn’t increased, but I worry that it doesn’t ever seem to go away.
I agree with you. So, it is homework for those who realize it, at least for themselves.
It is, and I wonder how many will undertake it. It seems we live in an age where it is ok to just say what you think regardless of facts.
That’s funny, right? In today’s world, where facts are far easier to find, there are still many people saying something as if only those who have the information and the truth.
I suspect there is a lesson buried in that statement, that in the time of information retrival people still lie,
Sad but true.
You remind me of the term “sick society”.
You are right as far as politics is concerned, there is no honesty at all.
Thanks, I worry about that from time to time.
That makes our country especially her economy miserable. Our people are not suffering from the high rate of inflation due to politicking.
It is interesting right now, the reality of economic politics. Sorry to hear there is a huge impact in your country.
