It's absolutely vital to stick to the theme of ontological lying.
The idea that one could be, of oneself, capable of truth, and able
to surpass lying, seems only acceptable to the last-minute-subjectivity,
one sees at work indifferently whether in politics, economics or
philosophy.
The current and ongoing bloody lies, that are at the base of
international relations, grant a chance to take an essential
mendacity into view, that is responsible for the filthy spectacle
of the last 100 years of world politics.
Would it all be all-too-human greed and deceit, then all these
massacres remain without meaning, while serious undertakings,
investigating the relation of technology, terror and truth, might
still shed a meaningful light on them.
Crying with the children is just crying with the wolves, and
only serves their purposes.
The Asians, while in principle not capable of fathoming global,
eveninglandish mendacity, are working hard to see clearer.
They won't overcome Western superiority - technology+lies - ,
but their analyses are refreshing, compared to modern western
scholasticism.
