Mark Twain is credited with saying, “A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.” And that was more than a hundred years or so before social media.
Today, the truth is running even further behind. Competing ideas of what is the truth – my truth, your truth – battle it out on X, or Facebook, or some other platform.
So how do you find the truth? And how do you know what you find is true?
TEDxURI 2025 will confront some of those questions this spring with “Finding the Truth,” a topic crucial to our survival.
