An interesting essay on epistemology, how to evaluate truth claims and how to spot dubious claims quickly. The author points out the popularity and weakness of relativism and reminds us as Voltaire said: Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. Dealing effectively with the bombardment of truth claims which confronts us every day starts with the notion that these truth claims differ in their validity. Once we know this, we can learn to distinguish false truth claims from more truthful truth claims.
