Truth

2023-06-26 at 2:18 AM UTCI began to ask each time: What's the worst that could happen to me if I tell this truth?
Unlike women in other countries, our breaking silence is unlikely to have us jailed, "disappeared" or run off the road at night. My speaking out will irritate some people, probably get me called bitchy or hypersensitive and disrupt some sensitive peoples serenity. And then maybe my speaking truth will permit other women to speak truth, until laws are changed and lives are saved and the world is altered forever.
Next time you’re wondering should I tell the truth, ask: What's the worst that will happen? Then push yourself a little further than you dare. Once you start to speak truth, people might insult and yell at you. They will interrupt you, put you down and suggest it's personal. But the world won't end.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2023-06-26 at 2:24 AM UTCsure, but consider that truth is not subjective, and 'speaking your truth' is just a poor justification for making noiseThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

2023-06-26 at 2:31 AM UTCFacts are objective propositions that you think should be useful to others, independent of you as an observer. For example, "I like chocolate ice cream" is a fact. "Chocolate ice cream is good" is my subjective opinion.
There are three basic meanings of 'true', as it applies to statements:
Normative. "All bachelors are unmarried." Definitions are social constructs, to the degree that they are used to communicate. They are true because you say they are true.
Scientifically useful. Scientific models that are demonstrably reliable can be useful. Your decision to rely on any particular scientific model is a value judgement. We rely on each other to develop scientific models, along with judgments of reliability. In that sense, science is social.
Mathematically/Logically proven. Unlike scientific propositions, mathematical propositions can potentially be proven true; i.e., free of contradiction in their contexts. The contexts and axioms of mathematics are contrived, and thus, can be social constructs, but the proofs themselves are not.
I think it is confusing and unfortunate that we use the same word to have such different potential meanings.
Maybe I should have called this thread Opinion lolThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Sorry but I don't interact with anyone that interacts with government entity. That's illegal!
I like to think I am very close to ruining this forum in ways no amounts of spam, trolling or wrongun acting could ever hope. The forces of light vs forces of dark and evil
You see people who quit this forum because they improve their life and usually come back crawling to get BONK'D by more "i'm not swallowing your gay society pills fuck off kike turn off the TV". I have noticed an uptick in giving up.
I suspect a lot of them wind up on 4chan/reddit/twitter/facebook which is where all totse thought, zokleteeers and all your WHARE SNOOPY WITH A BAD IDEAS FRED FUYS (I didn't post on totse so im just saying random thingslool)
He probably has 10k followers on twitter and a career and a small youtube channel etc etc etc
Everything else usually has their ideology rolled into alt-right-ism or they go full woketard like tacho. As much as this place is becoming the same, it's sort of impossible to make sense of all the discussion of drugs and sociopathic behaviors and just enough technology to make it impossible for any real political tardation from taking hold.
Flasks and Beakers, T & T and other totse culture forums are at the forefront of this as defenders of the standard bearer. It's already wrong to not be clean and sober and turning your life around, fucking loser go to rehab!!! THIS IS TOTSE NOT HURR DURR A ASCREAMING ELECITICAL THREE POINTED STAR SKITZO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND BE SOBER FAGGOT!!
Losing members like Sophie is a huge blow to the technicals, all the technical people are gone and just checking in. IT's a brain drain when you kick out the experts and the only guy left for the job is me. If one or both fall, I could see it as the end because there is no reason to exist otherwise. It's a ghoul that haunts us, the ghost of jeff hunter
Lanny has created the perfect simulation of the slow burn collapse of soviet society.
Whoa there snowflake , the ME ME ME ME generation folx WE HAVE RIGHTS YOU KNOW!!
oh yeah? says who? Maybe i'll have a chat with them. Now get back to work, freeloaders -

Your normative truth seems axiomatically/logically true, just sayin'.
P = "bachelor" is an abstraction that describes a male who has been married 0 times (contrast: husband, divorcee, widower)
Q = all bachelors are unmarried
P→Q, P ⊢Q
Calling it a social construct is kinda silly. It's a product of human ontology, sure, I guess. So are numbers. Letters, words, and numbers are just symbols with meanings we attach to them. The concepts abstracted by the word "bachelor" are as much Platonic ideals as the quantities or mathematical constructs abstracted by numerals. If that's your example for "only true because we say it is", there's nothing for which that isn't the case. And that's a... a mimetic dead-end? A completely pointless belief to hold. Like believing we don't have free will (great, we don't have free will, and knowing this for certain I am now able to... do exactly as I was preordained). -
