For philosophers, the truth is indivisible. But sometimes, there are those among us who think that the truth should not be divided, as such, but … why use it all? Particularly when it's really only necessary to use part of it - for reasons of convenience and utility, you understand. You just use the part that makes them look good. In this podcast, Entrepreneur Mark Barnes and Daily Maverick Editor-at-Large Tim Cohen discuss politicians and businesses using the convenient segmental approach to the truth over the past week. And speaking of US President Donald Trump, what is going to happen when he meets President Cyril Ramaphosa later this week? The best guess is that the partial truth will be plain to see.Production and Editing by Tevya Turok Shapiro.
