what is the best disguise?

I am moved by his ambition, which I shared at his age - and still do share, though I wouldn’t be likely to put it as directly and honestly as he. But I tell him that part of the truth about life in Reagan´s America is that it contains no jobs openings for independent, humanistic thought. I say that if he wants to pursue the truth, he’s going to have to use all his intelligence to learn to lie, to disguise his enterprise as something else that he can get a job doing.
