Chronos Veritas

I was born in 1965, on an island off the west coast of Scotland. In the early 1980s, my father – a teacher – brought home a Commodore PET computer for the summer holidays. As a young teenager I thought it was amazing but also immediately started programming in BASIC and finding out what it was capable of. By the time I went to University, I was programming in 6502 machine code, 68000 assembly language for fun.

I’ve worked in IT ever since. There was a time when the internet felt like a place where I could learn from people far smarter and more experienced than I was. I could find answers, and even when there weren’t any, that was an answer too. I could trust what I was reading. That’s gone. Today, most searches lead to noise, marketing, or confident lies. And it’s getting worse fast, as AI generated text floods the web with material that looks authoritative but isn’t grounded in anything real.

Chronos Veritas is my response. It’s simply where I think things through. I don’t have the answers, but I do have some ideas, and this is where I’ll try to work out whether any of them are useful.

If this resonates, then you’ll understand what I’m trying to do here. Chronos Veritas is for anyone who still thinks truth and structure are worth the effort.

Let’s get started.

“As we have seen again and again throughout history, in a completely free information fight, truth tends to lose.
To tilt the balance in favour of truth, networks must develop and maintain strong self-correcting mechanisms that reward truth telling.”
