La Vérité sortant du puits armée de son martinet pour châtier l'humanité
Jean-Léon Gérôme (1896)
- The truth is very often not knowable
- The truth is that many beliefs are formed without knowledge
- The truth is that people claiming to know the truth are generally deluded
- The truth is that a fiction can be powerful (think placebo, nocebo, etc.)
- The truth is that truth may not be a supreme virtue
- The truth is that what works, practical wisdom, may be all that matters
