The evidence is the evidence is the evidence. I will always accept new evidence. I look for it every day. If there is "new knowledge" then it can't be "told" it can only be "shown". Anything other than showing the truth is a meaningless gesture.
It is statements of "I know the truth, and this is it" that cause all the problems. That is how the world has been controlled forever. If you have evidence of something, show it. I will use my critical thinking and discernment to consider it. I will bring my thoughts on it to the debate table. From there it can be discussed with the purpose of determining the validity or implications of the presented evidence, what was really shown, and its scope.
This is how we get to the Truth. We don't hear it from a prophet, a leader, a wiseman, etc., we experience it. Then, since we are flawed limited human beings that carry along with us all the bad teachings we have been given by The Matrix, we all debate our experiences as "eye witnesses" from different perspectives to find the common thread. Somewhere along that common thread is the most likely direction towards the Truth. The endeavor towards finding new (and even contrary) evidence never ends though. We must always be vigilant and willing to allow for any evidence to be presented.
Believing that you have found the Truth is the primary control mechanism of The Matrix. It puts boundaries on your thought, disallowing honest investigation and creating unresolvable conflict when someone disagrees with your assessment. This keeps us divided and controlled. The Matrix exploits "belief of Truth" all day long, every day, for thousands of years in every person. Until you stop believing you "have it figured out" The Matrix controls you still.
