I say the Truth is always correct. But in America today delusion, bias, stupidity and criminality are all part of the power structure.:madmad:
I fear that we are going down the road to destruction.
The truth, from our human perspective, is always going to be perceived relative to our human perspective. The Truth (with a capital "T") may be absolute, as a singular whole, but that is not how we humans perceive things (as a singular whole). We humans can only perceive parts of the whole, and a little of how they inter-relate, so we can only perceive relative truthfulness via the relation of the 'parts' of the whole. What is true from one person's perspective and experience may not be true from another person's perspective and experience. Thus, we all live in our own unique world-views made up of relative and half truths, assembled in ignorance, and with a bias toward our own egos and well-being.I say the Truth is always correct.

Brother, you got it SPOT ON!!The truth, from our human perspective, is always going to be perceived relative to our human perspective.

Understanding this, is it any wonder that our social structures are constantly falling apart, and our governments are buried in corruption and idiocy? Just look at how insane most of the posts on TOL are, and multiply that by the billions of human beings on the planet, and you get an idea if just how insane humanity really is. And guess what; you're one of us. You're just as crazy as we all are, and maybe even crazier still, if you can't/won't see it!
Welcome to the idiot parade, brought to you by the limited nature of the human condition.
Perhaps if the comedian wasn't such a tool, he'd be funny.Like the comedian said, "Liberals have to pretend we don't know things that we actually do know are true."

Everyone says that. Yet we're all seeing a different "truth", depending on who and where we are.I say the Truth is always correct.
WE ARE "the power structure" in this country. This is government by the people and for the people, remember? Apparently, this is the government we want, because we keep on voting for it, or we complain but do nothing to change it.But in America today delusion, bias, stupidity and criminality are all part of the power structure.
Humanity is always self-destructing. Every time we try to a create peaceful, healthy civilization, we destroy it from within through our own greed and ignorance. I'm amazed we didn't immediately blow ourselves to bits the moment we built a bomb big enough to do it. Instead, it looks like we'll just befoul our own habitat until it becomes unlivable, and render ourselves extinct, that way.I fear that we are going down the road to destruction.

2 Peter 2:18 For speaking out arrogant words of vanity they entice by fleshly desires, by sensuality, those who barely escape from the ones who live in error, 19 promising them freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by what a man is overcome, by this he is enslaved.…
"We live in a decaying age. Young people no longer respect their parents. They are rude and impatient. They frequently inhabit taverns and have no self control." -6000 year old Egyptian inscription
People always claim that the new generations represent decay and a fall. You need a fairly rose tinted perspective on the past to think it was any better.
Of course there are problems today, but no more problems today than there were in previous generations.
