Reception

Our society is increasingly dominated by powerful liars who determine the futures all of us have to live in. Their lies pose an existential threat to all of us. We aim for an understanding of the deep reasons for this lying and the societal processes that have resulted in a high level of acceptance of liars in leading positions. We want to find pathways back to a society where lying is considered as unethical and unacceptable, where liars are not put into leading positions with responsibility for our common futures.

“Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth”, is a law of propaganda often attributed to the Nazi Paul Joseph Goebbels. We say:

“Repeat a truth often enough and eventually it will become widely accepted.”

If you are appalled by the ubiquitous lying of those who are in leading positions in our society and if you understand the danger of this and the threat it poses to our future, then we want you to join us here.

[May 09, 2026] Doomsday Clock is Getting Closer to Midnight: In January, the Doomsday clock was set to 85 seconds before midnight, the closest setting since it was established in 1947 in response to the threat of nuclear war. Sophie McBain in her article “‘The odds are not in our favour’: who sets the Doomsday Clock – and what can they tell us about the future of humanity?” emphasizes that with the wars on Iran and on the Ukraine, the rapid and largely uncontrolled development of AI and the climate breakdown all together increasing the likelihood of a nuclear war, the clock now stands closer to midnight than ever before. She asks the question of whether we can buy ourselves more time.
