Contention

I consider it among the worst emotions I've experienced to be told that a statement I make is incorrect, while having verifiable documentation regarding my statements that prove otherwise. It implies that misinformation is being willfully spread. Furthermore, it secondarily implies that the other party's evaluation of my character would allow for the spread of misinformation to knowingly occur. It ultimately implies that the party assumes that I would willfully lie, which is a very low and offensive assumption to make of a person. This website serves to supplement the data I have verified, alongside sources provided in the articles written. The data provided on this site may contain some original research, which is contradictory for a user-collaborated website for multiple valid reasons. However, as the goal of this site is to provide my own sources and the basis for my own personal conclusions, original research will be published.

To be abundantly clear: there is nothing wrong with mistakenly sharing false information.

This is, generally, often the result of individuals and organisations that willingly publish false info. Indeed, they are the party that generates the primary source and catalyse the spread of misinformation. The issue also occurs when the erroneous information is dictated as a fact, or if misinformation is intentionally spread for manipulative purposes. In either of these cases, the offending party has knowingly violated any expectation of mutual respect by intentionally being manipulative or willfully negligent.

Regardless of the discussion, I tend to react contentiously as soon as falsehoods begin to circulate. I occupy a hard stance that circulating falsehoods is contradictory to evolution and genuine fulfillment of any situation. Within the past few years, specifically after 2018, I have begun to take a highly active approach to eradicating any potential source of misinformation, and apprehending those who willfully spread it. It is of my opinion that those who perpetuate falsehoods and willfully maintain them will not automatically receive mutual respect until it is at least acknowledged that their source or statement isn't absolute or could potentially be misguided, due to the second paragraph. This doesn't necessarily mean that professionality in the discussion is out of the window, but it entirely means that my personal evaluation of that party, as a person, is in the gutter, when they continue to maintain a stance that is problematic and verifiably incorrect.

A lot of the world is based on falsehoods, which is unfortunate. I do not believe I can survive in a world like this; if I am ever expected to lie or knowingly step on others to get ahead, I will make the active decision to fall behind. It has been the direct cause of many a cycle of mental hell. I don't anticipate that I will be able to interact with the general public regarding certain topics while under an NDA.

This site is entirely dedicated to document my stances and my knowledge, with the sources to go alongside them. I want to prevent any accusations of being labelled as a liar in any circumstance.

Whether it's to a fault, whether it's due to underprocessed trauma, the fact remains that my singular value in living is that I remain a person who promotes publicly auditable information; a person who doesn't lie, even if I accrue danger by telling the truth. While I often don't feel as if I have a conscience, the sentiment that would swallow my mind in the event of a willful lie from myself would instantly disprove this. Consider this website as evidence of this value.

This is overall a trait that is evidently problematic, in the sense that I will invariably get hung up on minor topics or details while missing the greater picture. As for the tenacity, I have been irrevocably burned and humiliated many times in the past by conceding due to plainly wanting to avoid conflict, despite the other party being permitted to manipulate or disperse false info. As mentioned in the first paragraph, this tenacity evolved into maintaining a core personal value.

I don't know how to even approach solving this issue while keeping this value intact.
