STATES LIE AND TEACH US TO LIE
(profound)(at least for me)
The more I work on the subject of truth, the more I respect our anglo, north sea, and greek ancestors for just how close they were to truth: they were a very scientific civilization.
And conversely, the more I work on the subject of truth, the more I am convinced that it is because government never really evolved to organized large-scale production, with a need to justify falsehoods as ‘good’.
The State and State-Production, Propaganda, and Deceit are all interdependent technologies. Whereas partnerships, familial production, the jury, and truth-telling are all interdependent technologies.
States lie and teach us to lie.
