Elon Musk's Pravda
1 comments
Because he is silly. Pravda is similar to Polish word Prawda than means truth. Truth is very difficult to establish outside science.
- People are biased in many different ways.
- Modern propaganda can use true facts to build any public perception.
- You can have contradictory facts about same events
- Cognitive dissonance has the stronger effect than people think.
- Sometimes lies are needed because the truth is not something people can deal with
- Perspective is different between genders/race/religion etc
What about trust?
Is there any formal proof (scientific paper) on the possibility of creating a "true" voting system? By "true", I mean that one can mathematically prove the correctness and fullness of the public data (ledger).
We created the zero-knowledge proof a long time ago. Why we can't create a reliable system for anonymous voting/social polls?
