Manifesto
Don't expect the truth here. The truth is opaque. You have to work to have any. It's not ready to jump off the shelf into your shopping trolley. Truth may be lurking, but you have to recognize it. Catch it and you have to nail its feet to the floor, otherwise it'll get away. Truth is more valuable than truffles, more elusive, and harder to unveil to the light of day. But it is not avoiding you. You are just one of its researchers, its raiders. Truth is power and who wields it wields power, so gaining control of it, collecting it, opportunely displaying it or even hiding it are ways of manipulating us. Truth is dangerous, but not because of what it is, but what it means to us. The truth must be ruthlessly found and used lovingly. Its revelation is the next best thing to a reality check.
