https://t.co/N5foAwF3GRRECORDING: ASK ME ANYTHING FROM THE POLITICS DISCORD
This group is quite sophisticated so I was able to address some very deep questions.
Tripped myself up there at one point by letting a questioner get me with a false dichotomy. (In speech, I am very suggestible.) “Truth: consistent, correspondent, coherent, and limited.”
The Correspondence Theory of Truth:
Well we can start with ‘correspondence’ which is the simplest, dumbest test.
We can cay correspondent and consistent.
We can say correspondent, consistent, and coherent.
Or we can say correspondent, consistent, coherent, and fully accounted.
But even that isn’t quite as good as:
“categorically consistent, logically consistent, empirically correspondent, operationally articulated (consistent), rationally chosen, and reciprocally volitionary, and fully accounted.”
Well, you know, testimonialism is a pretty big improvement over every other articulation of ‘truth’.
