Suppose person A is always 5 minutes late to every appointment. Someone secretly adjusts A’s watch to compensate for this, and now person A is always on-time.
Now, A is being fed misinformation continuously (the watch is never correct!), and yet, judging by behavior, A is extremely competent in navigating the world.
(Since “every truth is connected”, there is a problem with person B asking A for the time and so on, but suppose A uses the clock on the cellphone to synchronize the time against everyone else.)
What would cause you to veer? Bias? Akrasia?
And what would bring you back on track? Wholesale disdain for truth? Or a careful selection of useful lies?
