And he's the only one - you don't rate two (unless you wanna talk about that other, darker one).

As to the rest of it, I'd as soon speak the truth as walk around in pessimism and cynicism. I think if we all started speaking the truth we would stop electing liars and be citizens of a republic again instead of subjects of an empire.

I think the truth is even harder to find in the Information Age.
Over-communication of bad info, outright agenda driven lies, lower thresholds for academics, etc. all contribute.

I saw some survey/research on superstition, astrology, myths growing in popularity over the last decade.
Your version of truth to a lot of folks is viewed as the very pessimism and cynicism you claim to battle against.
I can understand that even if I disagree.
I, too, would rather have truth but it can be damned hard to sort it out of the ****.
