The Cost of Truth : A Mālama Labs Community Converstation
The Cost of Truth
A Mālama Labs Conversation
Join us in Hilo for an open conversation on one of the most pressing questions of our time:
What can we actually trust?
As the lines between the physical and digital worlds continue to blur, the integrity of the data we rely on—across climate, AI, energy, and finance—is increasingly uncertain.
And when data cannot be trusted, the systems built on top of it begin to fail.
The Cost of Truth brings together Mālama Labs co-founders Tyler Malin, Dominick Garey, and Jeffrey Wise
for a grounded discussion on:
Why trust in real-world data is becoming existential
The growing gap between physical reality and digital systems
Lessons from climate markets and data integrity failures
How decentralized infrastructure can restore verifiable ground truth
What it means to build a shared “reality layer” for the future
This is not a presentation.
It’s a conversation—with the community.
We’re hosting this session in Hilo as part of an early dry run of a broader public talk, and as an opportunity to engage directly with local builders, thinkers, and stakeholders shaping Hawaiʻi’s future.
If you care about climate, technology, or the systems that govern both—this conversation is for you.
