Truth, reality and does science matter?

An essay on truth, mathematics and the science often associated to both.

 

Often scientific knowledge, and the mathematics so key, are confused for truth. 

There is a reason why such are always under review and require proofs to verify the veracity of any set of postulations. 

They are the evidence of reality, a description that can be used and not the actual truth itself.

 Often the argument against or for any truth is by example. 

Example is not the realm of math or science, description is. 

Truth is not part of "what if," truth deals in absolutes. 

The abuse of truth usually is just to pervert the entire idea of truth. 

The same done to science and math is an entire collapse of any postulation. 

There is a difference between perversions and collapse. 

Perversions can continue while a collapse fails to continue. 

A building may be a church or drug den, the building is itself outside of use based on truth. 

The perversion itself is even outside of function. 

The truth would be regarding the drug den or the church. 

The valuation of anything assigned as "truth" has a basis not built any truth itself that is provable. 

Yet, there is a need to build something concrete to rely on. 

Truth is an ethereal reality seemingly outside of the something like a concrete building and both are part of what we experience as real. 

Then it becomes complicated, there is the issue of other living things and creatures. 

Putting ourselves into reality and making "truth" about things leaves open the issue of what are living things and where are the boundaries of the absolutes of truth. 

We can't even agree what are the truths of ourselves before even any dealings with behavior. 

This is obvious with something so straight forward as managing how are environment is handled, how wealth is viewed, how even water is allocated. 

Truths, and the definitions of absolutes attached, literally contradict each other. 

In other words, there is no truth to truth in sciences, that belongs to the absolutes that cannot be proved which, by definition, make them false.

So there is the issue, truth is not what can be reasoned. 

Reason, the realm of math and science, fails in the face of truth. 

Truth fails in its absolutes since it is not provable by even it's own descriptions. 

Reality cares not for what we call truth, truth is pointless to reality. 

So where does truth matter? 

It matters in the spaces we exist in.

 What is true in the desert varies from that in the snow peaks or a rain forest. 

Reality is often, for us, as we live in our spaces, those influences what we find true. 

To lie in reality for us, invites destruction. 

Truth for us promotes thriving. 

Reality is eternal, truth it seems, is very temporary; a thing to be manipulated as required, or, desired.

The Roman Pilate questioned the very thing we still struggle with, "What is truth, is it unchanging law? We both have truths, is yours the same as mine?" 

The reality of what Roman truths built are still evident millennia later. 

It could be we build truth to create reality for ourselves. 

How we build our reality says much about our truths. 

Maybe truth isn't the absolute as often promoted, maybe it's the being.

That almost sounds divine.

Maybe in that eternity science becomes part of truth.

Is democracy dying?

“If men were angels, no government would be necessary,” “Federalist No. 51” states.

Thoughts on a couple of well done articles, of which this is one.

The rule of law and the rule of opinion seem to always run into each other. Having a moral compass and some decency are lacking by way too many of those in positions of power and, worse, too many of us. Love and peace are often scoffed at as invalid, childish or an evidence of some type of deficiency in character.

Very Backwards.

Reducing social moray to primate rule of law is as self destructive as it sounds.

An elephant will paint if encouraged by us. A great ape will learn sign language if we teach it. Birds, dogs, even insects and plants will sing and dance to music we make.
Even the planet we live on responds to us.
There is the evidence of our divine natures.

We also can kill any living creature pretty much at will.

We have free will do good or evil, be divine of devilish, chose GOD or the evil one.

The Founding Fathers learnt much from the battles that formed the United States.
Freewill takes courage to make freedom worth it. Honor and honesty are tough, that's what makes America is hard. Maybe that's why on a dollar bill "In God We Trust" is there to remind us what is important.
