I'm increasingly skeptical that appealing to "truth" is a productive approach for determining questions of public policy. When self-proclaimed experts are certain they have a lock on exactly what is true or false their arrogance is especially dangerous. To define truth we are dependent on using words whose meaning varies with context and their definition is constantly evolving. The truth of words in many situations is often hard to be certain about because of humour, trolling and sarcasm.
Tristan is a nice guy only when he is among people who think like he does. He's unaware that others think differently.

I'm afraid that it is so.
