In this essay, Bill Cara argues that modern sources of information—including the media, government institutions, and political platforms—are primarily driven by self-interest and narrative control rather than objective reality. He contends that people often seek confirmation of their existing beliefs rather than factual accuracy, leading to a crisis where truth is sacrificed for personal or political gain. To counter this manipulation, the author posits that market price serves as the most honest signal available because it reflects the collective actions of those with actual capital at risk. He introduces INSTAT, a technical system designed to strip away human bias by analyzing real-time global market data across various timeframes. Ultimately, Cara encourages investors to prioritize empirical evidence over curated stories to protect their financial interests from the distortions of "delusional capitalism."
