What's Alithium?

The company is called Alithium, A-L-I-T-H-E-U-M and it comes from the word Alithtea, which is the Greek word for truth. The reason that we chose it is because we use a Latin-based word for truth: veritas. When it's a verb and it's something you do, it's not really something that can become a weapon as easily. Anything can be weaponized, but that's why if you think about truth as a process,  you're just trying to get your best approximation while recognizing there is some objectivity out there.
