About Radical Truth
A free, open knowledge platform dedicated to empowering New Zealanders by breaking down information barriers between the public and institutions.
Our Vision
Radical Truth was founded on a simple but powerful idea: knowledge should be free. In New Zealand, there exists a significant information gap between ordinary citizens and the institutions that serve them — whether that's the healthcare system, legal profession, financial sector, or education industry.
This information asymmetry puts everyday Kiwis at a disadvantage. When you don't understand medical terminology, you can't advocate for your health. When you don't know your legal rights, you can't protect yourself. When you don't understand economics, you're vulnerable to predatory financial practices.
We're building a comprehensive, freely accessible knowledge base that gives every New Zealander access to the same information that professionals have — explained clearly, sourced properly, and available to all.
What We're Building
Think of Radical Truth as a combination of:
- A private Commerce Commission — shining light on practices that exploit information gaps
- A free university — providing professional-level knowledge without the price tag
- An encyclopedia — comprehensive, well-sourced, and always growing
- A consumer advocacy resource — helping you understand and exercise your rights
