The problem with the "legitimizing lies" perspective is that i havent seen a perfect truth machine lie around. Plus there being incentives to have you belief you already found a convenient truth. You iteratively improve through finding (or getting pushed into) errors in your perspective. Thats something we can help each other with, and i havent seen a better alternative. As far as i can tell, they are all quite a bit worse.
I think all it is is a complexity problem. Which you can tackle with better tooling. Just not one that thinks for us but that makes discourse more efficient.
edit: Differently put, i think the problem is that nobody bothered to explain to me well enough how stupid i am. And i dont see why i should be attached to remaining stupid. Unfortunately however there dont seem to be any spare smart people for the task so we dummies might have to figure something out together.
