I grew up lucky since my parents could afford a private education for all three kids, and they were voracious readers. I can see my mother standing in the Kitchen Coffee cup in her left hand book in her right hand reading while standing and watching the stove ! Mom if you were here Naomi and I would buy you a Kindle! This particular post that I have re-blogged is an Every Parent Read Please do ! Truth FEB 10, 2009 11:22A.M. Last night Jessica showed me an essay she wrote after reading DBC Pierre’s Vernon God Little. In the opening paragraph she wrote: DBC Pierre explores the affect of media on citizens, and the greater theme of truth, or rather lack of truth, in everyday life. It was a proud moment for me, because if there is one thing I hope to pass onto my children, it’s the notion that there is no singular truth. I was at a dinner last week where much of the NYC digerati (young and old) were assembled in a lovely apartment on the upper east side. After dinner but before dessert, the hosts initiated a discussion of the obsession of the moment: whither media. At one point, the argument came out that we need journalism to surface the truth. At which point, I sort of lost my composure and argued loudly that there is no truth. There used to be a mantra at the upper right of this blog. I can’t remember what it said exactly, but the gist of it was that there is no absolute truth, just your truth and my truth. I post my truth here everyday and I hope you’ll drop by and share your truth with me. This is the promise of social media. It’s revolutionary. When you give every citizen in the world a printing press, you ought to expect revolution. And it is upon us. new place where each and everyone of us will report on our world and share it with others. Sharing is the new truth.
