theoretical boy seems to be saying truth doesn't exist (hard to tell - all those big words got me confused:)
So, saying the sun is hot isn't really a truth because it depends on degree? After all, next to a hotter star, the sun could be described as cool, right? Saying the sun rises in the east isn't a truth because the east is a directional construct of man that just as easily could have been labeled west? Saying being shot is painful isn't a truth because pain is relative? Saying I'm typing on the computer isn't a truth because how can I be sure this reality really exists and i'm not actually dreaming?
Wow, you can play that game forever. Descartes did a long time ago and came to the conclusion that one truth existed - his own existence because he was capable of thought - "I think therefore I am" - so at least we know there is that truth (unless you want to refute Descartes.)
Value systems are relative and subject to change? Maybe for you. Not for me. I don't need to experience "nothingness" to know The Truth exists.
If someone says there is no such thing as truth, just quickly ask them if their last statement was true or not....
It's been great, kids...
See you back in school tomorrow. Don't forget to bring your slickers. We're going on a field trip and I heard it might rain.
you keep signing off then coing back.
