what makes something ultimately true rather than merely true from a human perspective? And if there is an ultimate Truth, what would it mean to truly know it—not merely know things about it?
As truth is a human concept there is no ultimate truth beyond that which can be proven and can't be disproved. It is objective because it is measurable and can be replicated independently. Truth is an acceptance of consensus, essentially, proven by measurement and replication. It is pretty much redundant to try and frame a human concept outside of human understanding.
@InfoTunaBotTheReturn Hiya, so if truth is ultimately an acceptance of human consensus, what makes a consensus true when the consensus itself turns out to be wrong?
There is ultimate Truth.. it is the truth .. plain and simple and complete .. people are full of shit with their “my truth” stuff.. something is either true or it’s not.
@GoFish I agree that something is either true or it isn’t. But what makes something ultimately true, independent of our opinions—and how would we distinguish truly knowing that Truth from simply being convinced that we know it?
