I would rather know and have no one believe me.
George W. Bush doesn't know and was elected twice. Sad, isn't it?

I would rather know and have everyone not believe me. Clarity of mind is a beautiful and precious thing. It would be too bad if others did not believe me; however, happy delusions do exist and all have the opportunity to learn; whether they take the opportunity or not is up to them.

I would rather know and have everyone not believe me.
I have come to a conclusion long ago that it didn't really matter if other people believed me. I already know many things that other people reject. Their opinions don't matter.

I'd rather know.
If I constantly had to make things up, I'd always be worried that people would find me out. Plus, knowing would make me happy. I'd rather no one believe me in the first place than be discovered as a liar.
Who cares what they think, anyway? If I know the truth, that;s all that matters. :D

I would rather know, and not have everyone believe me... There would bound to be a few that would heed my word, and that is all that is needed.

Either way it seems okay !
Some body believes me is their choice, how and why is not my concern , unless it affects my performance, which is again a choice to me, so it does not matter at all ! I would do what is suited to the situation.

I would rather know and have everyone not believe me. I love knowledge. BUT, as Socrates puts it, we can never truly know. Also as Hume, and many many many other philosophers believe we can truly know nothing! (when everyone believes them!!...ie: christians)...joke....

I'll take the former. That can be a lot of fun as long as you make sure no one is relying on what you don't know.
