The true truth?

Do we know it?

Do we have people nearby to share it with?

Who deserves the truth to be shared with?

Can we in the 21 century to claim that we stand close to the truth or not?

In the old times Sir Francis Bacon: the founder of the Induction Method in Science as well as of the other interesting and very interesting disciplines, magnificently depicted how moral climate affects onto spreading of the truth e.g. true philosophy:

But howsoever the works of wisdom are among human things the most excellent, yet they too have their periods and closes. For so it is that after kingdoms and commonwealths have flourished for a time, there arise perturbations and seditious and wars; amid the uproars of which, first the laws are put to silence, and then men return to the depraved conditions of their nature, and desolation is seen in the fields and cities. And if such troubles last, it is not long before letters also and philosophy are so torn in pieces that no traces of them can be found but a few fragments, scattered here and there like planks from a shipwreck; and then a season of barbarism sets in, the waters of Helicon being sunk under the ground, until, according to the appointed vicissitude of things, they break out and issue forth again, perhaps among other nations, and not in the places where they were before.

By the way, to my very great surprise (I just want to share honestly my impressions) the 450th anniversary of Sir Francis Bacon's birthday was not marked by serious public events in England directed at commemoration of His great heritage, the heritage which made England so strong and so powerful among the nations of the world; just few seminars were held, some few meetings etc, unbelievable is not it? Who knows, maybe that is the sign that the waters of Helicon are vanishing from some places? In my view Mankind should pay some respect to those who opened the doors for the new perception of the reality and the new technologies, Mankind should pay some respect to those who prophetically highlighted the technological advances, people should pay respect to those whose works inspired so many people to create something new: the things that make the world a comfortable place for self-improvement for so many; in my view Mankind should pay some respect in spite of the old unchecked stories about political and other views of Sir Francis, even in case if He was an incarnated evil.

While what we see is the silent neglect towards that great heritage, unbelievable teasing in the Pirates of Caribbean in form of Lord Cutler Beckett and utilization of the great slogan "Knowledge is Power" in form of "Magic is Power" hammered under reshaped statute in the Innovated Ministry of Magic embodying the ideology of suppression of the Muggles by the Wizards in the Hurry Potter story.

When Sir Walter Scott was making efforts to republish “The Secret Commonwealth of Elves, Fauns & Fairies” following the wise advice, when Lord Bolingbrook was writing his famous letters making respectful references to Sir Francis (the letters which inspired so many to conduct fundamental political changes in the Western World), when Brave Men inspired by writings of Sir Francis established the Royal society, could they all imagine that centuries latter the things which must be respected will be neglected to such an extent that the long expected Age of Reason & Truth shall get converted into the Age of Good and not so Good Zoomorphic Sexy Furries, where negligibly educated Celebrities of the Popular Culture shall dominate over passions and world perceptions of the millions?
