The wayfarer,
Perceiving the pathway to truth,
Was struck with astonishment.
It was thickly grown with weeds.
"Ha," he said,
"I see that none has passed here
In a long time."
Later he saw that each weed
Was a singular knife.
"Well," he mumbled at last,
"Doubtless there are other roads."

Subject: [MD] The Loneliness of the Truth Teller
A thought-provoking chautauqua:
"When truth tellers do appear among us, we kill them," says Daniel C.
Maguire, a professor at Marquette University. "History is splattered with
truth tellers' blood." In this lecture, Maguire asserts that humans crave
self-deception and cheating -- in fact, it's one of our darkest attributes.
Luckily, he provides three avenues to hope: stories, "shock therapy" and
humor. Watch Maguire as he unfolds his plan to save humanity, a species
already on the verge of extinction.
