Summary

This quote challenges the notion that ridicule can be trusted as a means to determine truth or accuracy. It suggests that reason, with its ability to analyze, assess, and establish logical conclusions, is a more reliable tool for evaluating truth. While ridicule may be used to discredit or belittle ideas, it cannot rightly serve as a basis for determining their veracity. The quote emphasizes the importance of rational thinking and critical examination in distinguishing genuine truth from mere mockery.
