Whom to Believe?

I saw a young man in a vest, standing outside Kentish Town tube, his bicycle leaning up against a wall. In educated tones he spoke through a surprisingly effective loudhailer: 'This is a security announcement. The world that you see is not real. It is a construction to make you believe what they want you to believe, but nothing you see or hear is real. Children, do not believe adults. Nothing they say is true, none of it is real." Presumably that applied to what he was saying too?

But then, as someone has pointed out to me, it would also apply to what I have just written. And so on and so forth.
