Information and Truth

Cha Cha, our beloved platypus who dreams of being a philosopher, was reflecting on the great discoveries in science made since the earliest traces of humankind. Technologies have evolved, from the use of stone tools to the potential creation of autonomous AI. Yet Cha Cha was troubled by the sheer overflow of information in modern society.

There is now so much information available that finding the “truth” has become increasingly difficult. And with AI generating even more content, how are we supposed to tell the difference?

This is why developing a conscious mind and practicing critical thinking is the obvious path.
Healthy habits for the brain nurture these qualities, because they require taking time for oneself and making the effort to understand, rather than passively absorbing whatever comes our way.

Once again, the choice is yours.
And yours alone.

But very young children cannot make this choice on their own. That is where our responsibility lies.
