Here’s an excellent post by Barry Ritholtz on the Truth. I’m giving away the ending but read the whole thing. – Ilene
Seeking the Truth — Or Obscuring It?
Excerpt:
When the entire edifice rests on falsehoods, mistruths, faulty assumptions, false premises, future outcomes, as we have seen over the past few years, can be horrific. History teaches us that eventually, the Truth will reveal itself. When that happens, there can be terrible consequences: Economies collapse, wars occur, empires crumble, millions die.
Whenever I read a major policy piece, newspaper article, or OpEd, I ask the following question: Is this person a truth seeker, or a truth obscurer? When you see nasty posts that dissect/shred/fisk these, it is because I was not happy with the answer to that question.
Are you a truth seeker, or a truth obscurer?
