Not only is True Enough relevant to class, it is also relevant to everyday life. Another intriguing point that Manjoo suggests is that “people tend to interpret and understand new information in a way that accords with their own views” (150). As people living in the public sphere we often hold very firm, personal beliefs, “and when people disagree with us, we’re apt to decide that they’re not being reasonable” (154). It is as if we are always seeking the truth, and we will not stop fighting until it is attained; but what is truth really? Manjoo keeps me interested, as I am always pondering questions regarding society and personal beliefs. He raises ideas that are not brought up very often.
