What Is Truth?

It’s Columbus Day in the U.S., a good time to reflect on the reasons we shouldn’t admire Christopher Columbus, and also to think about how we use facts, and how we make truth.

This gets to the bottom of something that I'd been wondering about for a while, without any way to adequately put it into words. The whole nature of truth and fact, that is. And the capacity for truths to vary based on perspective, how the story is told, etc. And on top of that, you put it very succinctly as well.

Thanks. It's a slippery subject and one that I probably could have expressed in a more nuanced way, even still. You may want to check out this discussion about the video, which sorta clarifies how slippery this is: twitter.com/Skelemika/status/785829298506653696
