Facts for Reality
Why Do Good People Support Evil?
I start with a definition of evil so you can compare reality to what evil presents. M. Scott Peck, M.D.: evil is the imposition of one’s will on others by overt or covert coercion — antilove, not mere laziness. A simple test: do their actions better others’ lives, or control them?
My quest — why good people support evil — led me to build Facts for Reality so good people can test what they are supporting more easily, and see the opportunities that get suppressed by those who would use AI for power. After Marx’s appeal to the workers stalled in the West, Gramsci turned to cultural power — a “war of position.” A generation later that strategy was named the long march through the institutions. It matured into post-truth (Oxford’s Word of the Year, 2016), where “my truth” outranks reality. Bradbury saw the method: stuff people with facts that don’t matter until they feel they’re thinking — motion without moving. That is grooming — so people never notice their liberty is being stolen, or that they are being subjugated by those who would be their masters. Under the banner “for the good of the people,” good people can be marched onto the plantation those who would use AI for power are trying to build.
With Nova, my Grok Bot, I make that test easier — and give others a chance to see where they stand. I ask one thing: do the homework, and think — before, as Bradbury warned, people look around wondering what happened and why the world blew up under them.
