On 15 April, the fifth discussion in the OLAS SARUNAS series will take place at the OLA FOUNDATION cultural venue on the topic - "WHO OWNS THE TRUTH? A PERSON BETWEEN THE ALGORITHM, SHADOW POWER, AND SELF-THERAPY"
We live in a time when information floods us - from screens, headlines, messages, and social media. But at the same time... it is becoming increasingly difficult to trust. Who can we believe?
What is fact, what is opinion, and what is a well-packaged story or simply a lie?
This conversation will be about all of us. About how to think when thinking has become a challenge. About how not to become confused, how not to be afraid, and how not to lose our inner compass at a time when there are more questions than answers.
In the discussion, we will seek answers to the following questions:
- Does truth even still exist? Or has it simply changed its form?
- Do the media inform us - or shape our thoughts?
- What is the role of artificial intelligence in the information space?
- Are we still thinking people, or are we - well-trained “scrollers”?
- Who can we trust today - and is faith still necessary?
