Paradoxically, the most successful open society in the world, the US, does not properly understand the first principles of an open society; indeed, its current leadership actively disavows them. The concept of open society is based on the recognition that nobody possesses the ultimate truth.
荒谬的是，世界上最成功的开放社会美国却并不真正了解开放社会的首要原则。实际上，美国目前的领袖迫不及待地否定上述原则。开放社会理念的基础是任何人都不掌握绝对的真理。不承认这一点就会产生压迫。简言之，我们可能是错的。
