“There are different kinds of truths for different kinds of people. There are truths appropriate for children; truths that are appropriate for students; truths that are appropriate for educated adults; and truths that are appropriate for highly educated adults, and the notion that there should be one set of truths available to everyone is a modern democratic fallacy. It doesn’t work.” ............Guys, Can you handle truth based on stone cold fact??? "Several truths" INDEED. Peace and love, George.........Ruling elites have always gulled the masses. It’s necessary to keep those who are subordinated from realizing the extent of their servitude...........What truths are appropriate for you?
===================================
How often is this laughable fallacy going to be repeated? In Persecution and the Art of Writing Strauss presents a difficult, somewhat dubious and highly technical theory. He argues that Maimonides wrote Guide for the Perplexed in a kind of code that was carefully designed to skate under the radar of the powerful enforcers of religious dogma of that period but that might be intelligible to some scholars capable of interpreting Maimonides particular brand of semiotics. The theory (frankly I don't really buy it, but I am open to persuasion) is not about suppressing truth, but rather about propagating truth!
It is just astounding to watch the false meme that Straus believes the masses can't handle the truth make its way through the popular media. God forbid any of the bozos perpetuating the myth actually pick up a book by Strauss and find out what he really said.
