Skepticism & Sources of Information with Mehrtash Olson | Created In The Image of God 184

The power of thought—hailed in the Bahá’í Writings as the true reality of humankind—has become both a creative and contested frontier. In an age of cognitive warfare, where persuasion is engineered and trust erodes by design, the act of seeking truth demands vigilance.

This discussion with journalist Mehrtash Olson explores how modern media and information systems shape not only public opinion but also the moral fabric of society itself. Through the lens of Bahá’u’lláh and Abdu’l-Bahá’s guidance on truthfulness, justice, and journalists' responsibilities, it examines what integrity in communication requires in a world of constant influence.

An invitation to reclaim discernment—and to treat thought itself as sacred ground.
