You understand.
Remember that fools can either be full of horsesh_t, where they don't know that what they believe and repeat is untrue, or bullsh_t, where they know they are lying and doing so for a particular reason.
The first step to being a Dune-style truthsayer is to never tell a lie. The deeper truth to that path (which is possible, but rarely developed) is that it is possible, but we must purposefully seek ever deeper truths about truth and humanity.
Our world's lack of this deep honesty, first about oneself and then about others, is a major source of our systemic problems. Another major source is selfishness, but I've discussed that elsewhere.
Regardless, most people just love hearing the words flow out of their own mouths, and that tendency seems to be worse for successful tech guys or anyone with a bit of money.
