* Assuming reasonable understanding, the truth is ALWAYS self-evident [I would go as far as saying, obvious]. A corollary might be that if you do possess basic knowledge, the longer the explanation necessary, the greater the bullsh!t it contains. After all, Absolute Simplicity IS Absolute Truth.
For example, take anything that the government says, but more specifically, let's consider the energy situation. I live in the not so sane state of California and we are constantly told that we do not have enough traditional energy sources because [the real reason is that this state is run by a cadre of complete morons who believe that the Earth is about become uninhabitable] we are either depleting of our sources, e.g., oil and gas, or, sources are too dirty [wood, coal], or, too dangerous [nuclear], so we must embrace "renewables," ie., solar, wind, geothermal, etc., so we can look forward to re-creating the German miracle.
The completely predictable result of this idiocy has been utter failure...an under-supply of energy with sky-high prices resulting in the majority of Californians getting poorer and more energy insecure by the minute. This was obvious to anybody who had even a tiny appreciation of energy market dynamics. It was an ideology/fear-driven policy that carried the day [and this is almost always the case regardless of which direction the bs is being flung].
This same principle applies to all things. And this is exactly why almost all institutions morph simple language into the indecipherable. After all, the last thing any group of elites desire is to reveal just how much they have gamed the system. After all, why isn't The Law written in plain English? Is there any reason that medical concepts cannot be greatly simplified so most everybody could understand them? How helpful would this have been
vis a vis the COVID vaccine fiasco? Just think of the millions of people who could have been spared harm from the mass clinical trials administered by corporate and government sociopaths.
The bottom-line is...the more complex the explanation, the further away from the truth it lies [especially if it is a well-accepted lie...like we are running out of energy]. If it doesn't make sense to you on its face, you can be 99.9% sure that it's a total bs.
