Presidential Politics and the Abolition of Truth
“Your man has been accustomed, ever since he was a boy, to have a dozen
incompatible philosophies dancing together inside his head. He doesn’t
think of doctrines as primarily ‘true’ or ‘false,’ but as ‘academic’ or
‘practical,’ ‘outworn’ or ‘contemporary,’ ‘conventional’ or ‘ruthless.’
Jargon, not argument, is your best ally in keeping him from the Church.
Don’t waste time trying to make him think that materialism is true!”
(Lewis, Screwtape, 1)
