Nice work!

First of all, thank you, Jack, for writing such an enlightening material with so much depth, clarity and comprehensiveness. In fact, this has just been shared. The fact that you have traced the history of conflict from Galileo to Assange in terms of the truthfulness and reliability of information is indeed good food for every reader's epistemological quest. From this article, we have not arrived at a definite solution, but, at least, I, as a reader has now been invited to question things and to exercise greater critical thinking when it comes to information that affects my daily life. Indeed, perhaps, we won't be able to stop the trend of obfuscating the truth as it is expected to become more rampant as AI technology evolves, but all we can do is learn to understand what is happening. Reading something as objective as this article by Jack Daniel Muscat is the first step.
