Have you found any social medium on internet that actually empowers honesty?
the ones that are not focused on professional, commercial or business opportunities, like LinkedIn is, at least remove one of the motivations to lie. Those that offer full anonymity, remove another.

I agree. I write 70% of it and then Claude helps me refine it by enhancing vocab, structure and grammar. Ideally I would like to just use it fix grammar but atleast this way I am writing more and my drafts just don’t sit in notes.
The 30% you're outsourcing are where the growth happens. If you don't have any idea how to improve beyond a vague feeling that AI outputs look "better", I recommend checking out the book "What Is Good Writing?" by the linguist Geoffrey J. Huck. It should give you a clear understanding of your impressions and a clear direction.

How?
One way it can happen is by unguided learning only from context, ie you heard or saw the term used and formed your own recognition pattern, without ever consulting a reference to find out if the guess was correct.
> What do we need? Real guidance. That comes from honesty about constraints, the times when your "strategy" was actually just making the best of what you had. It demands admitting that many successful decisions weren't visionary choices but creative responses to circumstances beyond your control. > But that kind of honesty doesn't get shared or saved on LinkedIn and X/Twitter. Because honesty is not incentivised nor…
Yes that’s the point I was trying to make. These lies don’t just affect them but also the people reading it as they might never see what actually happens
This is what sustains this whole economic bubble built on debt and future promises. At all levels of society, you have these inflated unrealistic expectations and BS circulating in the media. Technically-incompetent but eloquent and charismatic CEOs predict that in 6 months, some major technological shift will happen. Managers preach about adjusting their organisations to these new realities. Workers have no choice but to play the game with all its dirty tricks, if they want to stay employed. Anyone who dares to say that the emperor has no clothes is isolated in a dark corner because they may suddenly deflate the value of the whole economy. This is corporate feudalism disguised as a competitive economy.

What you described sounds more like either a lack of awareness or revisionism (depending on how conscious it is).
There are parallels, though, and I don't like the snark you're getting from other replies here. Both relate to how identity and image drive beliefs. You could even frame the revisionist founder as having cognitive dissonance about what the primary reasons are for their decisions.

Ah, 4chan, the final bastion of truth
It’s safe to assume without extraordinary evidence that anything posted on LinkedIn is at best glorified reality, but most likely complete fabrication. There’s zero incentive for anybody to be truthful.

People bullshit on linkedin for sure. This is the mild end. Medium end is made up stories "a client told me...", and high end you have fat lies.

Bad outcome - nothing to do with our decision, external events that we could never have foreseen are at fault.
