Artificial Wisdom: A Novel

by Thomas R. Weaver

That was the thing about the truth. Sometimes, you were judged more harshly for revealing it than for concealing it. Some bastard running for president hired a hooker, and they called the reporter ‘salacious’ for writing about it. “The responsibility lies with those who did the deed and those who prop them up, not the ones exposing it.”

“You can’t convince those who don’t want to be convinced. They’ll see what they want to see, hear what they want to hear, and studiously avoid anything that challenges their ‘truth’. I know what’s right and what’s wrong.”

People seem to live in both the past and in the future, two big overlapping circles, but rarely focus on the intersection and enjoy the moments given to them right now.”
