For over 17 years I have researched 'anti-truths', what are more commonly known as 'half-truths', discovering in 1994 that the definition of half-truth was incorrect.
You see a half-truth can be many things.
It was defined as a statement that is partially true; ie half true and half false.
Then it dawned on me one day that a half-truth could also be part of the truth, ie half of the truth, or part of the truth, but not the whole truth.
For example, "Stop violence against women' is two half truths.
First it only deals with violence, and not all the other forms of the abuse of women.
Second the slogan ignores the abuse of men and children.
So the statement while true, creates a polarizing lie. It is very, very deceptive.
My thesis is that this is the 'original sin' from the garden of eden, when "Adam and Eve" took of the tree of knowledge and were deceived by Satan to believe they would become like God to know The Truth ?
