Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Drawn from what David Hume said
politics How people actually hold political views: tribes, partisanship, and whether anybody reasons their way in.
It is, therefore, a just political maxim, that every man must be supposed a knave; though, at the same time, it appears somewhat strange, that a maxim should be true in politics which is false in fact.
