'Truth' is to be understood as a system of ordered procedures for the production, regulation, distribution, circulation and operation of statements.

However, relaxation of tension, which everyone thinks is good, is not easily distinguished from relaxing ones guard, which almost everyone thinks is bad.

My duplicity will breed distrust, and everything I do-even using so-called good human relations techniques-will be perceived as manipulative.
