Truth can take care of itself

Really like this passage from one of the many Terence McKenna lectures I have been listening to on Youtube.

truth can take care of itself. it does not require your belief. the truth need not be treated as fragile. you can beat on the truth with ball-peen hammers and it will do just fine thank you… it can take care of itself

This is so much the opposite of what we hear within the ‘disinformation industrial complex’ that the slightest exposure to anything untrue or “reality fluid” is going to crash all of society. McKenna has his flaws and blindspots, but I’ll take his point of view on this one any day as a hopeful alternative to that.
