a wise old tribe player was gather acorn 4 stew when young tribe player come ask his advice. "master of tribe, what bind is good 4 rep kit?" master of tribe say nothing at first as he continue 2 gather acorn, then tell this story. he start:
"was once farmer who live in small hut by field. he work hard tending crop all day & come home exhaust. each night he put his shoe on floor & go 2 sleep. when he wake up one day he go 2 put his shoe on & feel sharp pain & say, 'aahh! a scorpion has sleep in my shoe and sting my foot!"
"the farmer have 2 work all day w/ swollen foot. that night he put shoe up on table 2 keep scorpion out. he go to sleep think how clever he is 2 outsmart scorpion. next morning he wake up and put shoe on & feel sharp pain again & say, 'ahh! a spider has made home in my shoe and bite my foot!' again he have 2 work all day w/ swollen foot."
"next night farmer decide 2 put his shoe up on top of roof of shack. he go 2 sleep think 'ha, i outsmart scorpion & spider and keep shoe on roof.' as farmer sleep his small village raided by bandits, he awoke 2 sound of fighting and jump out of bed. he frantic search 4 shoe but forget they r on roof so he run outside barefoot. he 2 slow to escape bandits w/ no shoe & he shot w/ arrow and die."

the youth's challenge
was once ancient tribe master who was said 2 have best disc aim of all time. it was said he never miss shot in MA or on ground and his disc always find target. one day ambitious young tribe player seek him out and find him meditate on top of mountain. young tribe respectfully approach him and say, "master, i just hit 25 MA in game of tribe, how many MA must i hit in game 2 b consider goat of disc?" the master say nothing & continue 2 meditate. the young tribe player ask him again & finally the master say, "u can never hit enough."
young tribe player take this advice 2 mean he need improve and return home 2 practice. he spend many hour practice his MA and return 2 tribe master many month later. he find ancient tribe master meditate in same spot on mountain. he say 2 him, "master, i hit 50 MA in game of tribe. how many i need 2 b consider goat of disc?" the tribe master keep meditate quietly and finally say, "u can never hit enough."
young tribe player resolve 2 practice more than any man ever. for many year he use only disc & become master of MA. he become like machine of tribe and avg over 100 MA per game. finally he return 2 mountain of ancient tribe master and say, "master, i hit over 100 MA in every game of tribe i play. i believe i am goat of disc & respectfully wish 2 challenge u." the tribe master open his eye from meditation and say, "i accept ur challenge. u will defend flag against me."
so young tribe player find himself defend flag and await cap route of ancient tribe master. he very aware and focus on all known fast cap route & have many year of practice MA incoming capper & make this shot w/ 99% accuracy. after many minute ancient tribe master appear over hill in hvy armor. young tribe player immediately MA him but ancient tribe master shoot mortar & young tribe & explode him as he make heavy grab. young tribe respawn & chase tribe master and MA him three more time but this just propel ancient tribe master faster 2 home & he cap flag. young tribe player angry & say, "that cap prove nothing, i hit u with 4 MA." ancient tribe master just smile and say, "this is true, u did hit me with 4 MA. but u can never hit enough."
young tribe then realize wisdom of ancient tribe master's word 2 mean that no amount of MA can secure victory of tribe since it is only single tactic 4 single weapon & not useful in all situation. true goat of disc know when 2 disc & when 2 put disc away.

The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the State.
