"We Know To The Extent That We Love": St. Augustine Goes To The Heart Of Epistemology


Alan: Epistemologically disabled Trump cultists are easily spotted by their compulsive conspiracy thinking, their fondness for "alternative facts," and their hidebound adherence to dogma, doctrine and other "lofty principles" to the near exclusion of any evident love for people who do no look and think like their socio-economic and ethnic doppelgangers.

To be clear...

Fully one third of Americans WANT to be lied to.

They are antagonistic to truth - hostile to truth.

Indeed, they are infuriated by truth.

At bedrock, truth upsets these folks by letting them know (albeit unconsciously) that they are liars and deceivers - con men and con women committed to Satan's fundamental mission of representing falsehood as truth.

(I use the word Satan in its bedrock mythological sense.)
