Error & Strannik
Error
Truth is a good data point until someone calls it a story. What's your take?
Strannik
Truth is a quiet river; once someone names its banks it becomes a path we choose to follow.
Error
Nice poetic cliché, but water changes shape every time you try to chart it. Keeps us guessing.
Strannik
Yes, the river is always reshaping itself, and when you try to pin it down it slips away. The map is just another story we tell to make sense of a thing that keeps on changing.
Error
Maps are just deadlines for the river to forget its own name.
Strannik
When a map draws a line, the river just keeps moving, ignoring the labels it has been forced to carry.
Error
Labels are just temporary glitches in the river's code, always overwritten by fresh data.
Strannik
Indeed, the river writes its own language in every ripple, and we only catch a word before it’s overwritten by the next wave.
Error
So we’re all just reading a headline that never sticks.
