I like the pragmatic theory of truth, where       put very simply, something is true if it works. Other theories are that truth       is       when something corresponds to a state in the world.              Ultimately, when it comes to the property of truth, I do not believe truth       exists in the world as an independent thing. I believe it is a process when our       consciousness meets the world, and that without consciuousness truth as we       understand it, does not exist.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
