This is ALSO the Truth

No it isn't. You are crying because you know it is not that.

A retard "This is ALSO the truth."

Telling the truth

That is not what you are doing Anna. You are drawing a box around 'innocent kids and journalists' and pointing at that and shrieking at me like a chimp so you don't have to give me the credit and pay me and, beyond that, you don't have to stop the people who are doing this to me because you had get raped so now I have a mental illness I don't actually have imposed on me and there's just no undoing it BECAUSE I SAID THE THING I SAY ABOUT YOUR THING! Right? This is the most extreme example of media collusion of which I have ever even heard!

Hym "What you are doing is in no way shape or form 'telling the truth' Anna and I'm not exchanging care with you to get you to care about my thing. And you've already made what you're doing explicit. You're rejecting my framing of the issue and just inventing a new reality and you're likely doing it for religiously motivated reasons. I don't have to just live with 'my problem' and I don't have to do what you would like me to have to do for it to be solved."

Archway of Truth

The arch formed from a cat’s back legs, up to their stomach, and down to their front legs when they stretch up from a nap. Gently sticking your head in this archway can reveal future events to you, and give you wisdom. Bonus points if the cat is white OR if the sun is shining on the cat when it forms an archway of truth.

“Dude, how the hell did you know it was going to rain today? The forecast said 0%!”

“I looked through the Archway of Truth and it was revealed to me.”

Adjacent to Truth

No it fucking doesn't Matt. Do you want the fucking thing off or no? I can prove to you that it's there. I can literally prove that I have your soul marked and all it takes is a chef's knife. You can go to heaven today and I am guaranteed hell so I can send you to heaven, consequence free.

Hym "Adjacent to Truth and done deliberately. The deal is the deal. The people engaging it did so freely. To you have a problem that you are peripherally culpable in the thing THEY are doing with me? Because they signed the contract for everyone as I have said before that you are all the same thing to me under the auspices of the 'inter-subjective solipsism' thing. And that is what is so irritating about how the retards around me are actively. These people really don't get it and they think they get it and that is making this take longest than it has to... I'll amend the deal if you want and, unlike you, I won't even make you ask for it. I demand that you let me un-tarnish your souls. OR, Matt, you can be a good Christian and sacrifice yourself for everyone. You know you won't get in. You know you are going to do shit like this instead of what God says. Do it's going to default to a random anyways so why even bother with the sacrifice, right Matt?"

Hard Problem of Truth

The self-referential paradox of defining truth without being circular. The classic definition is "correspondence with reality." But to check if a statement corresponds to reality, you must already have access to that reality, which is the very thing in question (see: Hard Problem of Reality). All other theories of truth collapse into relativism (coherence: "true if it fits our other beliefs") or pragmatism ("true if it works"), which abandon the commonsense notion of an objective, mind-independent truth. The hard problem is that the concept of truth seems necessary for rational discourse, yet any attempt to ground it leads either to infinite regress or a dogmatic stopping point.

Example: The statement "Gravity pulls objects toward Earth's center." How do we know it's true? We point to evidence (falling apples, orbital mechanics). But that evidence is only valid if we assume our senses and instruments reliably report reality (a truth claim itself). We trust the instruments because of physics (another set of truth claims). The chain never touches bedrock. The hard problem: Truth is the anchor of thought, but the anchor is hooked to the boat it's supposed to be securing. We sail on an ocean of justified beliefs, never dropping anchor in the seafloor of absolute truth. Hard Problem of Truth.

Do you believe that the truth will set you free?

I don’t like the question. It’s a weird way to frame it.

Dr. I’m running out of names “Do you believe that the truth will set you free?”

Iam “I don’t like the question. And I don’t like it because it’s a loaded question. There’s this implicit assumption that I’m subjugated and then we get into this semantic realm where we’re trying to figure out what we’re being freed from and it’s just not all that interesting. ‘Well, through truth we’re freed from our ignorance’ and that’s just a banal answer that doesn’t really answer the question in spite of the fact that it answers the question. Beyond that you could say that ‘Well, we are all subjugated by those who lie with impunity and only the truth can free us from the illusory world they’ve created’ and that’s not very entertaining either. Better question (or more interesting as least) would be ‘What happens if you tell the truth about me?’ Do you lie to keep the devil in his cage? Even though God told you not to? Do you eat the forbidden fruit? He did tell you not to do it but he knows damn well your going to do it. You tell the truth I’m out of the cage. ‘What does he do when he’s out of the cage? What will he say? People should ignore and mock him but what happens if they don’t? I didn’t. I listen and did what he said. What does that say about me?’ Now that’s far more interesting. I had another one but I can’t quite remember...”

Let awake dogs tell the truth

Good advice, but how could the sleeping ones even say anything, untruthful or otherwise?

Saying, "Let awake dogs tell the truth" makes no more sense than verbally allowing them to fib while snoozing: dogs can't talk in any case, as we all know, and so they could not tell "lies" in any alertness-state --- i.e., whether they are asleep or up and around.
