Hey Israel, thank you for sharing. I like that. For me, truth is a guiding concept with a foundation in universal principles rather than just factual correctness. My own experience, in which I restored extra money during a trade, confirmed its significance and strengthened my sense of honesty and integrity. President Nelson placed a strong focus on pure truth, which makes me realize how important it is in the current digital era.

In some of the texts we have read so far in this class (e.g. Frederick Douglass's "Learning to Read and Write," Ericsson's "The Ways We Lie,"), as well as the videos (like Sam Harris's "Why You Should Commit to Telling the Truth" and Donald Hoffman's "Do we see reality as it is?") one theme has been the uses and limits of truth and knowledge. We have seen the ways in which knowledge and truth can be both a blessing and a burden, how they can be used to better understand our circumstances or to manipulate other people, even ourselves.With this in mind, answer the following question: how have knowledge and truth helped you achieve your personal goals and enabled you to live a better life? Have they ever been a burden to you (say, in the way deep understanding was temporarily despairing to Douglass)? Have you ever ignored or distorted truth and knowledge in order to get something you wanted, in the way Ericsson says we sometimes do?  You must explore these questions in your essay, making reference to at least 2 of the essays or videos we have discussed

Michailidou and Trenz argue that truth is not absolute or settled, but rather that it is stronger when it is contested and debated in a robust media. Others, however, are worried that media content containing disinformation, misinformation, and satire are damaging to truth and to trust. Where do you stand on this issue?
