Thanks for posting. Very interesting. A tragedy. An error in judgement. An accident.
As opposed to a pre-meditated lie.
“...or to shrug off the lies and become an honest man worthy of respect both by one’s children and contemporaries.”
“And he who is not sufficiently courageous even to defend his soul- don’t let him be proud of his ``progressive’’ views,a dn don’t let him boast that he is an academician or a people’s artist, a merited figure, or a general—let him say to himself: I am in the herd, and a coward.”

Joe, you’re a coward, a liar.
“A tragedy. An error in judgement. An accident.

Precisely.
