h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

It's impossible to exist entirely telling the TRUTH, ain't that the TRUTH.

Agreed. And your point?

Searching for the Truth is a task that will probably end with disappointment, either;
The Truth may not be agreeable & therefore something not to be passed on;
Others may not want to know, regardless;
That it may be viewed or interpreted differently, or even changed;
It may even be that the Truth is best kept Secret & then Un - Truths would be needed to protect that Secret.

If the Truth is within us All then to reveal it to others could be Fearful & allow others to misuse it.

Yet, I still strive to be 'Truthful', as I understand it, yet I'm often hold back as it has got me into more Grief than I care to mention.

This is about as Truthful as I get, Honest

Excuse us but all of you are meta-theorizing about the truth and you do not know the rules for doing so.
We are a recent researcher for the Guide and we’ve been where truthfulness is
If you like send us your questions

That's true but not all the time
That's the reason why
That's not The Truth
And you don't seam to be in the correct mood for it.

Someone once said something like this: "Truth is what an infinite number of 'wise people' will agree on in an infinite time".

Unfortunatly is infinity of such a character that we will never reach it. Hence we can never* be sure if we have reached an absolute truth. What seems true tody might be wrong tomorrow.

"1 = 1" is a truth. Though it don't tell us very much. But from that, we can deduce that one thing that is absolutely alike another on the same time on the same place, is truth. Therefore "I am" is a truth. "Cogito ergo sum" is just a bit more complex version than "I am".

--PISCVS

*) "Never" must in this case mean "not as long as I live", because of the not-so-known problem "Is 'never' what happens just after we have past infinity?".

We suspect you are not in the correct state
of mind
to discuss this entry

you need to be in a very fuzzy tempestuous spirit
to understand

first: what are we talking about when we talk about
truth

second: to whom or what things are we talking

third: even the Gods have being telling lies
even if they apologize in the end

fourth: prove that this is not true

and so on

If "1=1" then "infinity=infinity" which may take some time to confirm.

I'll get back to you when I have checked it out - probably not in this Life-Time though.
