Infinite Pretend

John Gray writes in The Guardian :

“During most of the last century, politics was the principal vehicle for religion. Communism and the cult of the free market are examples of large, flimsy ideas being turned into articles of faith.”
I have written things like that, too.
The World and the Experience of the World is infinite; it is highly unlikely that we "bright wits" may capture the essence of things in such succinct language events as these sentences here.

Most wisdom is pretending.

I know I've always striven to "pull the wool" over everyone's eyes.

All pretense...
