| Introduction | I am interested in seeking the truth in all things:"Now it is that you should learn all things, both the unshaken heart of well rounded truth and the opinion of mortals in which is no true belief at all. Yet none the less shall you learn these things also--how the things that seem, as they all pass through everything, must gain the semblance of being. Come now and I will tell you...the only ways of enquiry that can be thought of [that exist for thinking]: the one way, that it is and cannot not be, is the path of Persuasion, for it attends upon Truth;" -from Proclus. I Strive to limit the spread of lies and deceit: "Alatheia, who art the beginning of great virtue, keep my good-faith from stumbling against rough falsehood." - Pindar, Frag 205 A man was journeying in the wilderness and he found Veritas-Aletheia standing there all alone. He said to her, 'Ancient lady, why do you dwell here in the wilderness, leaving the city behind?' From the great depths of her wisdom, Veritas replied, 'Among the people of old, lies were found among only a few, but now they have spread throughout all of human society!" -Aesop, Fables 531 (from Babrius 126) |
