The Truth Algorithm – Part XVIII: “Big picture orientation plus critical thinking equals the ability to determine the credibility of any assertion that claims to be true.” Specifically we consider the CDC claim that the COVID-19 vaccine is “safe and effective for pregnant or nursing mothers.” From a critical thinking standpoint after seeing all the CDC has to say on the subject, our conclusion: this claim is not true. Listen to our podcast and make up your own mind.

The Truth Algorithm – Part XIV: Using Expectation as an Aid. Captain Smith discusses how we can use expectation as a way to help us determine if a “truth claim” is in fact the truth. Projecting into the future is a good way to consider the nature of the assertion as it effects the overall mission or system.

The Truth Algorithm – Part XII: An Analytic Process. When we are presented with information that is claimed to be true, how do we respond? Do we 1) buy into it right away; 2) wait for more evidence; or 3) immediately begin an analysis to determine if in fact it is true? The Truth Algorithm allows us to activate #3 above without delay, utilizing an analytic process to help us in this endeavor.

The Truth Algorithm – Part IX: The Truth Algorithm Defined. In this episode, we begin to define the Truth Algorithm, because we can! We can because if reality is an objective fact, and truth is a key aspect of reality, then truth is an objective fact as well. And it can be measured. If truth can be measured, then it can be examined utilizing reason: in this case, algorithmic reasoning.
