   Great. I think that you are I are the only   
   one that care about these kind of truths.   
      
   Literally everyone else here only cares about   
   finding fault at the expense of truth. Mike   
   might be the only exception. Even he appears   
   to be much more focused on defending the status   
   quo than accurately assessing new ideas.

   My 28 year goal has been to make   
   "true on the basis of meaning" computable.   
      
   This required establishing a new foundation   
   for correct reasoning.
