The currency Warhol traded in was exactly the same as all others, and
very real: human desire. The theories created by science or economics or
any other philosophy are every bit as quantifiable and testable as Mr.
Warhol's bank account.

Anyone who believes there is no objective truth I sentence to standing
in the middle of the street and choosing not to believe in the bus
heading toward you.
