Relationship with Truth


Level playing field.
Where/how
Justified true belief.
Convergence(s) of inquiry.
Firmness and Factuality beneath. And above.
Possible focal point? Loose tangled constellation? Single north star?
Truth as correspondence.
Which minds, experiences, would (know that they) know?
Matching in a cosmic domain, ground-universe of knowledge, and a sky outside?
Knowledge and factuality... and wisdom?
People disagree
Truth as basis / context / frame, by which agreement/disagreement could even happen.
Steam release valve e.g. “it is just power/games”, (de)moralization of the intellectual quest of (inner/relational) semantics
How to investigate ?
Anything that could be done, would be simply factual (as inner/outer event).
Raise . Lists of cool questions. Make up new question.
Asking about truth, may not be real (objectively). The subjective is really subjective.
It is operational, how are you dealing in the world with these questions.

AK: For example, for Kirby, truth is a defensive strategy, to protect himself from attacks in the world.
KU: Not just from attacks, but from accidents and bumps in the road. The truth about my tires in early 2024 was they were worn out and ready for replacement. I was in denial, pretending a cursory overview by some mechanic, months previously, meant a clean bill of health forever. Someone with a different perspective persuaded me of the truth of the matter and helped me address the situation. Now I'm safer on the road, with new brakes and new tires. Truths (especially absolute ones) are meant to be addressed and dealt with more than stood for and/or championed (our assistance is not needed). I think we get hung up on "telling the truth" based on admonitions from childhood and/or from wanting to be good doobies. I'm not saying it's wrong to wish for that form of integrity, but integrity comes in many forms, including road worthiness. I'd suggest 99% of what we encounter that's true is not something that requires our help or even agreement in becoming manifest.
