A society without the means to detect lies and theft soon squanders its liberty and freedom

In his book "Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle," Chris Hedges explores the ways in which society has become increasingly disconnected from reality and truth. One of the key themes he addresses is the erosion of trust and the prevalence of deception in modern society. Hedges argues that a society without the means to detect lies and theft is doomed to lose its liberty and freedom.
