Do you believe there is truth?

That's true, I see the value in that, our own language is great for all that it is, but in a completely utilitarian language, would we need be able to convey more accurately our thoughts? With less confusion & great clarity?

It depends what utility our language should perform. One use that we put it to is in the transferal of information. We make statements of fact.

But it's not the only use. We also use language as a form of social grease. If you think about a lot of conversations that you've enjoyed you must admit that a lot of what we say to each other is just placatory noises.

Yeah, and honestly, the meaning behind someones words can most often be understood through clarification or just seeking & putting in the effort to actually understanding thoroughly what the other person is trying to convey.

What would people use to examine their beliefs?

Values, morals, common sense, being able to look at the entire picture in a logical realistic way.

I don't think realistic is perhaps the right word, but I do agree that logic & reasoning are great ways of examining our beliefs, and values & morals can be used as a guideline, a direction, but not departing from logic necessarily.

I agree

Ah, good point.

I saw it all in the number

Which one?

How can you be so certain??
