on falsehood and war

Powerful set of quotes (from 1789 to present) fait accompli. The first, from Nick himself:

Since we have heard only lies all our lives
we must assume the truth is unintelligible
and start from there. It's like panning
for gold and not knowing what gold is.

complete logical nonsequitor.

the statement is made under the premise that what is being said is truthful or reflecting of truth, yet the quote's premise is that truth is unintelligible. if his premise is correct, that truth is unintelligible, then what he has said too is unintelligible.

basically he's really said nothing at all.
