Is trust worthy authority in our world an illusive lie that we allow ourselves to believe?
Were “they” right all along, however incoherent or inspecific their concerns?
Let us take this moment for each and every one of us to allow an ember of self doubt, that we may ourselves confront our uncertainties. To vigorously debate. To let some things remain uncomfortably unresolved as we accept the comforts and conveniences afforded to us by modernity.
It's kind of late to ask that question now, it might even be late to ask the question "Is it possible to undo the mountains of lies?" because just telling the truth on the internet definitely can't do anything about it.

That's a rather misleading question because without a trustworthy authority we'd surely lose the comforts and conveniences afforded to us by modernity, preserving the lives of many might not be an option either. The real question is how to get there because we've lost the little we had before.
