A Conversation for Truth

Close enough to truth.

I'm too lazy to check if anyone else has brought this one up in other conversations so forgive me if you've heard it before. It's just a bit of circular reasoning that's interesting that seems 'correct' to me. So, here I go.

Start with the assumption that 'absolutely nothing is true'.

If absolutely nothing is true, then the fact that 'absolutely nothing is true', is not true.

Therefore, it is impossible for absolutely nothing to be true.

Therefore, something must be true.

Confusing at first but read it through a few times and it might make a little bit of sense.
As far as what is actually true... I've got as little a clue as anyone else, but at least that's a start. At any rate, that's as close to an absolute truth as I can find.
