Based on this and your other post about the Pyramid of Debate, you've locked yourself into a purist's perspective which cannot be denied (what happens is truth, so therefore it is), but in the end doesn't lead anywhere. To recognize what you say may be accurate, but applying your theory broadly, society's destructive elements are equally "true" as the constructive ones. Sure, it's all true, but we have preferences. It's more pleasant to live in a peaceful, functional society than it is to live in a violent chaos. That means putting some elements of "truth" above others. The universe has a lot of destruction in it. Maintaining a relatively ordered portion of it requires energy, and that energy will alter truth. But of course, that's truth too, yes?

Long story short, I agree with the accuracy of your idea but see little utility in it.

Edit to add: Your view of humanity's importance contradicts your central point. Because truth includes everything, and all humans - myself of course included, as are you - by definition have limited perspectives, we actually have next to zero idea what truth actually is. We each see the little slice we experience, but that little slice is so trivial relative to the Truth you've defined that your goal of searching for it is spitting in the wind.

If you really believed this, you wouldn't have bothered to say this, or anything, ever.

Truth seeking is the collective destiny of all of humanity, not some retarded shit about individual enlightenment.

Everyone's little slice of experience contributes to the greater whole.

You're free to "fetishize" the ideal of "truth." But, there is no truth beyond "logical relationships." If-then statements are as close to truth as we can get. Why? Because human perception is limited. Any "truth" that you "believe" in is simply a syllogism that requires an assumption.

Nothing you just said is true.

If it were, you wouldn't have bothered to say any of it, because none of it could possibly be true.

Sorry bruh. Truth is God.

Logic is just a bit more of a vice than you might imagine, as odd as that might sound.

You want the truth? This whole thread is a circle jerk of truth.

Everyone I've ever heard call something a "circle jerk" since I first posted on reddit like eight years ago has been a total fucking shit head, you included.

There's some truth for you.
