The Truth Will Wreck You: Why You Need to Question Everything
"Seek the truth relentlessly... when you discover the truth you're going to be wrecked, you're going to be disturbed... but then you will be set free." — Joshua T. Berglan
In this thought-provoking broadcast, The World's Mayor, Joshua T. Berglan, challenges the certainty that pervades social media timelines. He observes a shift: people are finally starting to ask questions rather than regurgitating the talking points of influencers and news channels. He argues that in a world of deep fakes and "well-funded agendas," the only path to freedom is admitting we don't know the absolute truth.
The Flaw of Perspective
Joshua begins with a humbling admission: "No one knows the truth about anything." He asserts that even our own deeply held truths are limited by our individual perspectives. While he is an expert on topics like Agenda 2030 and the future of media, he reminds viewers that plans can change in an instant—whether by divine intervention or human chaos.
The Gospel of Thomas: Truth as a Wrecking Ball
Referencing the Gospel of Thomas, Joshua paraphrases a powerful verse: truth is not a comfortable destination.
- The Process: You seek it, you find it, and it wrecks you. It breaks your worldview in half.
- The Reward: Only after being "wrecked" and unlearning the lies of society, school, and religion can you truly be set free to rule over your own life.
Disinformation & The "Deep Fake" Future
Joshua warns that we are entering an era where disinformation will accelerate. With the advancement of deep fake technology, we can no longer trust our eyes alone.
- The Solution: He urges the audience to utilize resources for media literacy (available on his website) to navigate this new reality.
- The Mindset: "It's a lot more fun going through life realizing that we don't know anything than it is assuming we do."
The Nigeria Narrative: A Case Study in Lies
To illustrate the danger of blind allegiance, Joshua brings up the situation in Nigeria. He challenges the narratives pushed by the American government and mainstream media, asserting that the reality on the ground is different—specifically noting that both Christians and Muslims are often victims of the same perpetrators, a nuance lost in the polarized reporting.
Conclusion
The episode is a call to intellectual humility. Joshua encourages viewers to stop fighting over opinions and start seeking to understand. Whether it's politics, religion, or global events, the advice remains the same: Ask more questions.
