Flaw #1 of 10: Truth Concept
Universal applicability does not equal universal relevance
The truth concept conflates that which is universally applicable with also being that which is universally relevant.
Example: 2+2 =4 and 8-4 = 4 and 604-600 = 4 and ((5^2)^1/2)-1 = 4
Each is universally applicable if I do it, you do it, and a martian does it. We all arrive at the same answer IE. Each is true.
The question then becomes "if all of them equal 4 then which one should I use to derive 4?"
The answer is the one most relevant to you.
How do you know what's relevant to you?
Well that's a political, economical, and ultimately "spiritual" question. A question and aspect that was banished from the discussion by plato and his imagined "republic" as being "opinion" "perspective" and ultimately "subjective" ...a source of political stagnation. I.E. how do you effectively rule in this speculative "republic" if everyone has there own "opinion" & "perspective" ...the truth is "higher" because it is reproducible independent of a persons "opinion" (2+2=4 whether I,he,she, or we calculate it)
As Marimba Ani says plato conceived of his concept of truth & epistemology as an ideology suited to political ends ...a means of ruling the "republic".
Which in everyday practice essentially turns into...
1. The only "opinion" "perspective" that matters is that of the ruler of the republic.
2. That "opinion" "perspective" is turned into a known by way of the Truth concept and epistemological ideology
3. The governed should accept this "Truth" not because the governor says so(because that would be subjective), but because the truth is reproducible independent of the governors stance ...therefore it is "universally True" independent of "opinion" & "perspective".
4. Anyone who doesn't adhere to this epistemological ideology is mentally unenlightened(stupid/doesn't know how to think) and not suitable to govern(women,commoners,slaves,etc,etc) in my imaginary "republic"

“Like a system of politics, science has sought foremost its own preservation,”
"Theory does not advance ideas (as the positivists asserted in the early part of this
century), theory justifies ideas. Empirical methodology is not a tool of revelation and verification, but rather a tool of refutation and a shield of obstruction behind which the ideas a theory justifies are operationalized as programs immune to self-interested criticism. Therefore, the most crucial considerations in the development of theory are (1) the ideological programs that theory is capable of justifying; and (2) the methodological
framework its protection and preservation demand."

So what are you trying to justify with your "truth".............know what "Ion een wanna" know
@videogamestashbox.com "2+2 =4 and 8-4 = 4 and 604-600 = 4 and ((5^2)^1/2)-1 = 4
Each is universally applicable if I do it, you do it, and a martian does it. We all arrive at the same answer IE. Each is true..." ...damn that was the weakest deflection I 've ever gotten on here...lmaol
The shyt is so hillarious... and it took you mad long to come up with that anemic response breh....lol
I must of triggered something deep for you to do all this soul-searching on truth...catching nervous breakdowns and shyt breh...damn lol
and yes the picture I posted is relevant to whats currently going on politically right now whether you like it or not..thats the truth
and please breh who are you trying to impress with all that grade school math breh:
"2+2 =4 and 8-4 = 4 and 604-600 = 4 and ((5^2)^1/2)-1 = 4
Each is universally applicable if I do it, you do it, and a martian does it. We all arrive at the same answer IE. Each is true blah blah blah blah..."
Is that the highest level of math you can talk about brehh
Daammmm hahahahaha
There is nothing your weak ego can do to refute truth. Not even that little narcissistic bubble you got can protect you.
I will be sure to post more pics on here along those lines cause yall dudes really need this medicine.
