Noam Chomsky had this idea about truth. He thinks that when you see truth, it will seem like it's from Mars! A few times recently I've seen excellent journalism which presented coherent facts free of the all too common tragic and debasing engagement with the mainstream paradigm. The thing about the truth is that it can seem like a lingua franca. You stare at the mouth that said the words and think: Did they really just fucking say that? Did that really never fucking occur to me? The epiphany of truth can be all too scarce.
