What is truth? It's the factual basis of what happened. Intent,confusion,and belief can all be argued. What actually happened can't. So if it happened in meat space and not in head space,it can be defined and proven true.

But what levels of priority should each piece of information have? Here's a handy list to give you an idea of what priority a piece of data holds. This is a general list and doesn't cover everything,but it should give you an idea of what should hold priority over what.

1. Personal experience. This is shit you know happened because you were there and saw it with your own eyes. Maybe it was a shooting in a back alley. Maybe it was your YouTube comment that got disappeared. But you saw it and can confirm that's what happened.

2. Research to back it up. It's not as good seeing for yourself,but even "the lying media lied about this and here's proof" is pretty good. That proof might come in the form of the media's own past articles that claimed one thing at one point and compare it with a new article that says the opposite. Old forgotten reports can do wonders too. lot of data on the interwebs and it can't all be simply disappeared. People you know to be honest can go here too. But it's a good idea to double check if you have time.

3. The media. The media itself,despite being a massive well of misinformation,bad data,and outright lies,can be used as a witness against itself. If nothing else,you can prove they're gaslighting people with it. And you can count on it to be a normie tier "common knowledge" to build arguments against normies on.

4. Shit someone said. Most of the media falls into this catagory. Every journalist assumes they're now a physics professor because they parroted what an "expert" told them,but in the end,most journalists and people fall into this one. They might be repeating something they'd heard. They might be speaking from flawed knowledge. They might be telling the truth. And they might just be talking out their ass. Never trust this without proof.

5. Lies. Only useful for trapping liars in other lies. If you know it isn't true,it's use is limited.

So I hope this helps you to sort your info and make clearer choices made with better data.
