+If we can't have a more truthful world, I think I would prefer more lies and fewer delusions on the margin.
+
+When the heroine of a dystopian YA novel uncovers the big lie at the center of her society, she wakes up tied to a chair in a dungeon, and a hooded agent of the shadow government says, "Congratulations, you figured out the secret. You _will_ keep quiet about it, or you _will_ regret it."

+In real life, when you uncover the big lie at the center of your society, everyone just sort of sneers at you and says, "What, _that_ old theory? That was debunked years ago! Only a stupid, evil, low-status person would believe something like that!"
