From Hannah Arendt.
“This constant lying is not aimed at making the people live a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore.
A people that no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong.
And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is without knowing and willing it, completely subjected to the rule of lies. With such a people, you can do whatever you want.”
I’m not being political. The seeking of truth in things is worth every effort.
