The concept of Wikiality derives from the theory of cultural relativity and is grounded on the idea of "truth by consensus" or "popular truth." Taking Wikipedia as a prime example of a site for consensual truth-building in the manner of an encyclopedia, we can see how Wikiality works as a site for the consensual truth-building of reality. (For example: Pluto stopped being a planet when, by a majority vote, astronomers stop treating Pluto as a planet.) In that regard, by majority vote, everything on Wikipedia is accepted as true, so we can assume that everything written on Wikipedia is the truth. Given that anyone can edit Wikipedia, so theoretically anyone can edit the truth. Afterward, if enough people agree with any user's edit, or at least accept the Wikipedia version as true, it becomes the truth.

Are There Any Dead Hex Readers In The Crowd?

Probably not. But that doesn't mean we can't include them on this t-shirt. The shirt itself is pretty much self explanatory. It has two sleeves that you use to put your arms through and a hole at the top your head pops out of. There are words on it and it's black.

Aside from that it contains a riddle! Something you need to keep in your book of riddles in case you ever run into a Gollum like creature in a cave after finding a powerful ring...

High quality 100% Cotton Heavyweight Black T-shirt with the phrase 'How many people can read hex if only you and dead people can read hex?" on the front. We've put the answer on the back. If you need a hint, we've set one up right here Yep.
