Come, Become A TruthSeeker
We're beginning a community to help us deal with our biggest challenge: the infodemic.
I didn’t spend much time as a Scout, but just about enough to get my first badge, the Tenderfoot badge, which I proudly sewed onto my uniform.
Being a TruthSeeker is not like being a Scout or a Guide because there are no badges to be had. There is no special salute either, and no motto. At least not yet.
Right now at BOOM, we’re at the beginning. The beginning of building TruthSeekers, a community of people who actively seek the truth and who seek facts. If you no longer wish to be passive in a world of misinformation, outright lies, and B.S., then this is for you.
We have a mission and a place to gather virtually — on our Facebook Group — but not much else. So if you become a founding member of this community, you’ll be involved in shaping this thing as it grows. You could contribute what you wish: time, money or energy, and if you cannot spare any of those, your presence alone will be of immense support.
P.S. Whether we use the words infodemic, information pollution, information disorder, or even the catchy-but-inaccurate ‘fake news’, our information problem is a massive, massive one, bigger than even the pandemic. That it’s not seen as an urgent one by most people only makes it more dangerous. See you around.
