  • What is Gaslighting?

    Gaslighting is psychological manipulation — not disagreement. It’s when someone tries to make you question what you know is true.

    The media does it. Politicians do it. Institutions do it.

    And most people don’t even realize it’s happening.

  • What is Poetic Truth?

    A poetic truth isn’t about facts — it’s about feelings pretending to be facts.

    It’s the stuff that sounds right, feels powerful, and spreads fast… but collapses under scrutiny.

    Poetic truths are emotional weapons used to rewrite reality.
