Telling The Truth Distrust

More From Ursula K. Le Guin

It is not given to man to know the whole truth. his duty lies in living up to the truth as he sees it, and in doing so, to resort to the purest means, i.e., to non-violence. god alone knows absolute truth. therefore, i have often said, truth is god. it follows that man, a finite being, cannot know absolute truth. nobody in this world possesses absolute truth. this is god's attribute alone. relative truth is all we know. therefore, we can only follow the truth as we see it. such pursuit of truth cannot lead anyone astray.

I talk about the gods, i am an atheist. but i am an artist too, and therefore a liar. distrust everything i say. i am telling the truth.

As the popular trust in science fades - and many sociologists say that's happening today - people will develop a distrust of purely "scientific" psychology. researchers in the universities haven't picked up on this; they're more interested in genetics and computer models of thinking than ever. but, in general, there is a huge distrust of the scientific establishment now.
Thinking People Psychology
Because today we live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups... so i ask, in my writing, what is real? because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo-realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms. i do not distrust their motives; i distrust their power. they have a lot of it. and it is an astonishing power: that of creating whole universes, universes of the mind. i ought to know. i do the same thing.

One great blemish in the popular mind of america and the prolific parent of an innumerable brood of evils, is universal distrust . . . you no sooner set up an idol firmly, than you are sure to pull it down and dash it into fragments: and this because directly you reward a benefactor, or a public servant, you distrust him, merely because he is rewarded . . . . any man who attains a high place among you, from the president downwards, may date his downfall from that moment.

There can be no doubt that distrust of words is less harmful than unwarranted trust in them. besides, to distrust words, and indict them for the horrors that might slumber unobtrusively within them - isn’t this, after all, the true vocation of the intellectual?

Scepticism is never certain of itself, being less a firm intellectual position than a pose to justify bad behavior.
Atheist Intellectual Behavior
We hear eagerly every thought and word quoted from an intellectual man. but in his presence our own mind is roused to activity, and we forget very fast what he says.

Visa for avalon is a testament to the power of fiction. it illuminates the truth at the heart of what is commonly called reality. this account of lives transformed and ruined by the triumph of a totalitarian rule is a timely reminder of how moral and intellectual laziness and apathy can pave the road to the reign of terror brought on by such a system.
