What, then, is the truth?

The article by Miha Burger, an active citizen, questions the nature of 'truth' in contemporary society. It argues that truth is no longer objective but shaped by leaders, whether political or opinion-based. The author suggests that while truth can be subjective, it can also be improved through collective effort, emphasizing the need for shared rules and methods of communication. He criticizes current leaders, including democratically elected ones and those with military power, for lacking genuine commitment to uphold democratic principles and laws. Burger challenges the notion that truth is solely determined by leaders, proposing that truth could emerge from democratic processes where sufficient people agree upon it, leading to officially recognized and legally protected truths without relying on specific leaders.
