Power is domination, control, and therefore a very selective

Summary

This quote suggests that power is not about the pursuit of truth or justice, but rather about exerting dominance and control over others. It implies that those in power manipulate and mold their version of truth to maintain their authority, even if it contradicts reality. In this context, power is seen as a deceptive force that perpetuates falsehoods for self-interest instead of promoting genuine understanding or equality.
