Truth Is Just a Matter of Degree

Laurence:  Evaluating “truth” on the basis of one’s place in the hierarchical structure of degrees (e.g., B.A., M.A., PhD) is not what really matters. In “democratic” societies, “truth” is decided by the outcome of public opinion polls!  If sufficient numbers of members of the boobeoisie believe that 2 + 2 = 5, and you believe otherwise, you’d better buy a modern calculator.
