Interesting, isn't it, how Truth, has suddenly become an issue in politics in the last two weeks. Here's Solzhenitsyn (1918-2008), who was a prisoner in a state structured around lies from the top to the bottom, which gradually imploded. https://t.co/pleImeEBkx
"Lies are often much more plausible, more appealing to reason than reality, since the liar has the great advantage of knowing beforehand what the audience wishes or expects to hear." — Hannah Arendt
sources, how could we tell truth from error? Or, in a more sinister vein, honest research from manipulation?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn once said about politics during the Soviet era, that “the lie has become not just a moral category but a pillar of the State.”
The truth, it is felt, becomes untruth when your enemy utters it.
