The authenticity of people, ideas and products are best known when we are privy to their best state. We can best know the counterfeit when we already know the genuine. Falsehood is easily identified when we know the truth. Ignorance is best detected when we have knowledge. Know the best in order to best knowContinue reading “WORST FROM THE BEST”
