Reality War

Due to the powerful weaponry of misinformation equates to a very dangerous threat on the
battlefield, which is reality itself.

By Oliver Libby, Managing Partner, H/L Ventures

Growing up around scientists and doctors as I did, you develop respect for truth and credibility. A
generally shared set of facts makes conversations, solutions, and functional systems possible. That is
why I’m so worried about the newest form of global warfare that has arisen faster than any in human
history – the Reality War.

We can stop wondering when World War III will happen, because it is already here, and we are in the
trenches today.

From the dawn of history, wars have been conventional. Wars might be between major powers, they
might be asymmetric, but people fought with weapons and killed one another for whatever reason. My
arrow pierces your shield; my tank shoots your tank.
