Jenny Holzer's List of Truisms: Here are the ones that stood out for me. I don't necessarily believe in all of them, but they're pretty striking >>>
>>>being judgmental is a sign of life
>>>deviants are sacrificed to increase group solidarity
>>>drama often obscures the real issues
>>>enjoy yourself because you can't change anything anyway
>>>emotional responses ar as valuable as intellectual responses
>>>fear is the greatest incapacitator
>>>going with the flow is soothing but risky
>>>if you aren't political your personal life should be exemplary
>>>it's better to be lonely than to be with inferior people
>>>knowledge should be advanced at all costs
>>>men are not monogamous by nature
>>>moderation kills the spirit
>>>myth can make reality more intelligible
>>>noise can be hostile
>>>people won't behave if they have nothing to lose
>>>re channeling destructive impulses is a sign of maturity
>>>romantic love was invented to manipulate women
>>>sometimes science advances faster than it should
>>>taking a strong stand publicizes the opposite position
>>>the idea of transcendence is used to obscure oppression
>>>there are too few immutable truths today
>>>timidity is laughable
>>>we must make sacrifices to maintain our quality of life
