The Pursuit Of Truth, Properly Considered, Shouldn't

Appearing On The Front Page Of The New York Times Even Given The State Of Papers Today Is Still Something That's Seen By A Lot Of People.

The Claim That Everybody Sees The World Differently Is Not A Claim That There's No Reality. It's A Different Kind Of Claim.

The Chance That Any Given Sentence Is A Lie, Rather Than A Truth, I Think, Is Fairly Great. An Intentional Lie, A Self-deception, A Misconception - There Are Lots Of Categories Of Untruth, Not One Grab Bag. And Hotographs Can Reveal Something To Us, And They Can Also Conceal Things.

We Have More Information - A Glut Of Information - Than Ever Before, And Perhaps Less Knowledge. That's What's Peculiar. And The Only Way You Can Deal With It, I Suppose, Is To Make Fun Of It. I Would Rather Watch Comedy Central For The News Than I'd Like To Watch Any Other Program On Television. Maybe That Shows You The State Of Affairs.

I Like To Think That One Of Things I've Done With Non-fiction Since The Very Beginning Is To Find New Ways Of Telling True Stories.
