Very Few People Pursue Truth. Most Want “True Enough”
VERY FEW PEOPLE PURSUE TRUTH. MOST WANT “TRUE ENOUGH” The number of people whose primary concern is the discovery of perfect decidability (meaning Truth), and perfect decidability in physical, personal, interpersonal, political, and inter-political matters is very small. What all but a few want is not truth but justification, technique, or opportunity. The value of decidability (truth) to that near complete majority is in denying the opposition arguments, and modifying their justifications so that they are less impossible. But we will never change the human desire to discover a justificationary philosophy that grants them internal license to free ride or steal, in one way or another. Because all we are doing is seeking a means of expressing our evolutionary strategies. -

“Follow the money” turns out to be about the optimum epistemology one can pursue
“Follow the money” turns out to be about the optimum epistemology one can pursue. The difference is that both man and nature seek to defeat entropy, man follows property in toto because he can choose to outwit the course of events, and nature can’t choose but take the first opportunity it stumbles upon.
