TRUTH THAT EXISTS : PERFORMATIVE: TESTIMONIAL

I can describe performative truth as extant. Can you describe platonic truth as extant? No? I didn’t think so. What you mean is that you are seeking the most parsimonious testimony you could possibly give. You use this obscurant term called ‘The Truth’. You say, ‘I seek The Truth’. But that is analogistic – because if we don’t know what it is that you’re seeking except as vague general idea. But the operational definition of ‘the truth’ is the ONLY one that can be stated. And it can ONLY be stated as testimony. Because only humans can reduce complexity to symbolic statements interpretable by humans. So when you use the platonic term ‘The Truth’, you are using a heavily loaded allegorical substitute for what is operationally performed: ‘the most parsimonious testimony I can give’.

(Yep we are there on that one. I just gotta work on the information thing a bit.)
