RE: Patterned to Persist Logically

in Deep Dives4 years ago

I always end up remembering the quote attributed to Gustave Flaubert:

There is no truth. There is only perception.

Not, of course, to be confused with facts.

"It is 20 degrees today" might be a fact.

Bob says "It's warm today!" and Susan says "It's a bit chilly today!" and both might be speaking "truth," as coming from their perception of reality.

It all definitely becomes a deep dive in no time at all!

Thank you for your engagement on this post, you have recieved ENGAGE tokens.

There is no truth. There is only perception.

Well that statement is untrue. Warms vs. chilly would be a semantic argument. The shade could be chilly with some wind, while it's warm to bask in the sun 3 feet away, maybe even with the wind blocked. If they switch places, they would discover the spatial reality that reflects the others assessment of the temperature ;)
