Bruno: how does Mrs. Loeb (La Machine) distinguish between 'truth' and 'not truth'? What is truth for Paul is a lie for Peter and vice versa. Is 'she' Mrs Peter or Mrs. Paul? Truth is not better identifiable than reality. Or: 'quality', which aslo may be bad or good, depending on the special interests.
Then again I would completely leave out the Christian, Muslim, Voodoo, or Peruvian religious connotations from such discussion. If there are (at least) two religions, (at least) one is false. I trust the L-ian 'monologue' only if it is included in continuous checking of 'other' 3rd person opinions, not imbibed in the earlier personal 1st pers. experience - which becomes quicklly obsolete. It may be a 'funny' monologue with asking always others' opinions to formulate a decision. Asking a god is better: I can always quote a response fitting my taste. In the "scripts' there are ambiguous and controversially quotable passages, especially if no discussion is allowed.
