A few months ago in the book party was an article titled "Einstein & # 252; rzende worldviews published. At this year's Fete of the Chaos Computer Club 24C3 Frank Rieger, Ron a lecture titled "The truth and what really happened" have held that the topic of falling world views quite well fits. About this talk was on Indymedia of "Still not accredited" published a nice report. As interesting articles on Indymedia recent times often disappear , published my book in the party following a copy of the article:
The truth and what really happened
The 24C3 discussed today, and Ron Frank Rieger that have four sides every story: Your side, your side, the truth and what really happened. Some idea of the sociological theory of social constructivism.
A universal "truth" is not, truth is instead socially constructed. "Truth is not simply what one thinks it is, it is as the circumstances in which they are told and to whom, why and how it is said & # 8221; already knew the Czech writer and politician Vaclav Havel.
on the path of a message changes the "truth" necessarily at every station, through which this is because more and a different perspective is taken to her. As a tangible example of the hacker led to an information chain, from a visual image of the real world via a photograph taken, a developed photo, a scanned version of this and the last in turn is an expression. At each station is something new out, a principle in the Kindergarten "Whispers" was called and is now referred to as "Medienökonimie.
The speakers asked the audience now, who believe in following "truths": that the terrorist attacks on 11 September 2001
are happening as it stood in the mirror, the manned Moon landing of Apollo 11
the late 1960s, and the murder of RAF members in the night of death Stammheim
. Apparently believed only a minority of the audience these apparent truths, but many of those present were probably also undecided. Provocative
was next asked if it even plays a role, what really happened? A response in the audience was "yes, in order to derive their own thoughts and actions." The answer to the podium was in the affirmative, namely because it is other people who believe the same.
This was also clearly the difference between the truth and what really happened. Truth is not just necessarily the same as what really happened, but rather the story that prevails in the general consciousness. The American science fiction writer Bruce Sterling
called this truth the public in his book Zeitgeist as a "major consensus narrative".
To the point to win this competition to raise awareness of the masses in general, the best story. A story must be told and can be understood. An example of a good story is one that has a narrator after three whiskey can still tell a listener after three whiskey still understands and which he can remember the next morning. Complex issues are seldom understood in their entirety and not dominate a good, however, already pointed headlines. This phenomenon prompted Helmut Kohl in 1994 with the statement: "This is a classic journalistic assertion. It is true, but it is not the truth. "
Ron and Frank had to do in the years vergangegen this opportunity of working to the mass media themselves. As a press spokesman for the CCC, they often have the same issues repeatedly reporters says. Once as they thought it factually correct and then again of course for the general public. For example, when the breakfast television, they should explain it even easier for a third time and that "for our audience," said the journalist. The relevant facts were so in effect either short and simple, or even true.
In vergangegen eras and dynasties, it was the Referanten for even relatively easy to spread a truth, as examples were the Roman Empire and the Crusades called. In contrast, there are Today with the increasing global networking and the Internet, a first counter trend. In an age of "global audience" all people with access to modern communications systems, information and news from various sources and locations obtained. With this wealth of different perspectives you can now choose completely what you believe and are also a large number of other people who think the same way. This results in communities that isolate themselves completely "major consensus narrative" of the truth. The abundance of conspiracy theories on the Internet is the best example.
builds in the current information society, therefore, each person has their own reality together. A selection of sources and influences taking place in their own responsibility. Each person is responsible for the resulting acts of self-responsibility. In conclusion
urged the CCC veterans to develop a sense sharpening to distinguish between the truth and what really happened can. One should try to go to the real sources of news even back and read the original. The way such as a scientific study on the summary for Decision makers, the press release, newspaper articles and a third medium, in which there is only "American scientists have found ..." shows that in the end nothing more out than in the quiet post may occur. If the finding of the original sources is not possible, one should at least look at different sides, different truths about what really happened.
is also nothing more salutary than occasionally break out of their own world view.

The public questions of the speakers of the truth with my party, book the article by Indymedia like to have some links to 9 / 11 to Styrofoam in space and to " interview with Irmgard M & # 246; non "at.
What is truth, is just like back in the process of Michael Naumann against Horst Bethge done by cemented decisions learned judge. What really happened, remains even U.S. presidents often hidden .
My party does not want to book claim to write the truth. My party membership would not claim to know what really happened. My party membership but would like to encourage readers to get to know different opinions , doubt their own reality, even at the cost of uncertainty
, skeptical
also to its own world to be and then even again and again and again to form an opinion.
