All truths are fictions, but not all fictions merit our allegiance as truths: the task of a culture, an education, a life is to discover which of the available fictions to endorse as truths; which to believe in; which to advocate; which to fight for; which to dissent from; which to oppose and fight against. All governed by our collective take on what it is to be human, and so what - which of the available fictions - it is best for us to believe.
