ANALYTIC TRUTH
Truth.
This word can be translated as the mind of God. Because this word is used as if referring to the mind of God.
But, this is a deception in and of itself. There exists no truth to discover: it isn’t hidden. The universe lies bare for us all to see.
We lack the senses to see it, and we lack the mind to comprehend it.
The problem the is not one of knowing the truth – the mind of God – as if we seek to know the mind of one another.
The problem we face is in compensating for the frailty of our senses perception and reason by the construction of instruments:
1- mechanical
2- logical
3- social (institutional)
And of the tree, the third is most important since it is the hardest to develop and control, because the incentives of individuals are contrary to the production of instrumental measurements.
We – all of us – constitute the third form of instrument – the division of calculation across individuals.
And our only means of producing accurate measures and calculations upon them is to require truthful testimony from one another.
But your take away from this short bit of prose, is that westerners engaged in methodological ternary-ism not methodological dualism.
And we didn’t even know that was our art.
I think this problem is now one I can consider solved.
