Facts Trouble Screwed Up

More From Farley Mowat

Facts are neutral until human beings add their own meaning to those facts. people make their decisions based on what the facts mean to them, not on the facts themselves. the meaning they add to facts depends on their current story … facts are not terribly useful to influencing others. people don’t need new facts—they need a new story.

I always tell new people in show business. i say, "look, show business pays you a lot of money, because eventually you're gonna get screwed. and when you get screwed, you will have this pile of money off to the side already." and they go, "ok, ok. ok, you ready? you ready?" "i got screwed." "you got the pile of money?" "yeah, i'm fine." i mean, that's the way it works.

What are the facts? again and again and again – what are the facts? shun wishful thinking, ignore divine revelation, forget what “the stars foretell,” avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable “verdict of history” – what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? you pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your single clue. get the facts!
Stars Truth Thinking
Many, and i think the determining, constitutive facts remain outside the reach of the operational concept. and by virtue of this limitation this methodological injunction against transitive concepts which might show the facts in their true light and call them by their true name the descriptive analysis of the facts blocks the apprehension of facts and becomes an element of the ideology that sustains the facts. proclaiming the existing social reality as its own norm, this sociology fortifies in the individuals the "faithless faith" in the reality whose victims they are.
Block Reality Thinking
Truths emerge from facts, but they dip forward into facts again and add to them; which facts again create or reveal new truth (the word is indifferent) and so on indefinitely. the 'facts' themselves meanwhile are not true. they simply are. truth is the function of the beliefs that start and terminate among them.
