Be careful what you look for, you may just find it.
With so much misinformation and schools of thought, personal ideology plays a role in the references we are willing to accept. And if you can't google it, try try again.
How does one commit to a postulate of truth if they have been brought up on falsities? How can you tell if empirical evidence does not just agree with you because you want it to?

- +Amar Kharidia it would seem that all that we know be subjective, necessarily. The open mind incorporates new data into the universe of reality it has constructed, perception, from previous data, experience. In doing this it modifies the data to fit the mind's developed paradigm of reality....making it subjective. We can never have a fully accurate image of reality due to the insular nature of the senses. We can have a functionally accurate representation of the external reality though. It would seem, truth be somewhat subjective and incomplete.10w
+Brendan Walsh I agree. Attempting to be objective in a subjective world is cumbersome. I believe , through empathy, that one can be objective. However, there are many extenuating circumstances that keep things subjective. Money and friendships are two major paradigms that confound objectivity. As if living has become a force of subjectivity with hints of objectivity when things are agreed upon to appease all major parties involved.10w- +Amar Kharidia it seems that keeping an open mind may help bring some objectivity to our subjective universe of perception.10w
The only truth I can define with certainty is the truth of this persisting instant of change.
Now is constant proof of itself, therefore the truth.10w- +Steg human I know what you mean. It's like waiting to see what the next change will be.10w
- +Amar Kharidia That's just the changes we can observe.
Not to mention the changes that are happening in this persistence at rates to rapid and to gradual for the likes of our awareness to fathom, then there is the sheer scale of this potentially infinite exchange happening in one persisting instant.
At least my awareness seems directly connected to it as the only thing that seems unchanging for a duration anyway.10w
