But is it useful...

How would you define “truth”?

Is it a coherent concept that stands up to rigorous scrutiny?

captain-bluebird.bsky.social•99 days ago

The way I think of it is as a useful abstraction for something like “total knowledge”

dreamwilder.bsky.social•99 days ago

Other than the knowledge of awareness itself, which is trivially self-demonstrating, what “total knowledge” can exist in any part of reality?

Are you asking an how to epistemically justify Truth?

dreamwilder.bsky.social•99 days ago

I’m suggesting it’s impossible, other than that one exception I mentioned.

captain-bluebird.bsky.social•99 days ago

I agree wholeheartedly, Truth is beyond human knowledge. An impossibility even.
