idk if you have been noticing that this "source of truth" expression has been popping up everywhere on the internet in tech and dev circles, like, i saw it on the Netbox readme

it's not that there is no truth that there is no HUMAN CONTROLLED source of truth

bitcoin comes close to being a source of truth about itself because it's basically impossible to alter the record, everything else is an opinion

axioms are also decentralised, they don't need an authority either, you simply can't refute them without contradicting yourself

"source of truth" is just a new spook synonym for authority
