MyTruth - Track Your Beliefs and Hold Yourself Accountable
MyTruth is a free Chrome extension developed by suriapps01. It falls under the category of Browsers and is classified as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory.
MyTruth is designed to help users navigate the vast amount of online information in the "post-truth" age. It provides a simple and interactive platform for users to establish their own sense of truth in media and hold themselves accountable for their beliefs.
The extension allows users to "tag" claims made by individuals on social media platforms or news articles. By highlighting the claim and pressing Alt+Shift+S (Option+Shift+S on Mac), or by clicking the extension icon, the claim is saved to the user's collection of beliefs. MyTruth organizes these beliefs, providing a clear overview of what the user thought, when they thought it, and where they encountered the claim. This helps users track how their opinions have evolved over time.
Additionally, MyTruth prompts users to revisit their old beliefs, encouraging them to review and reassess their opinions in light of new information. This active engagement in organizing their "sense of truth" helps users recognize and rectify any unjustified opinions they may have held. The default timespan for these prompts is 3 weeks, but users can customize this setting according to their preference.
Overall, MyTruth aims to help users develop the habit of consistently reviewing and upholding their principles. It draws inspiration from influential figures such as Ray Dalio, Bill Gates, Nathan Ballantyne, and John Stuart Mill.
