Then why did you bother bringing it up?

So what's the value of truth?

Your stance is contradictory thus makes no sense.

It's true. Which makes it useful to me.

To outside observers.

If value is determined by use then what has no use has no value, yet seemingly useless phenomenon, such as mud, are necessary for usefulness to occur, such as the mud being formed into a brick.

Why do outside observers even care if my stance "makes sense" or not?

So what's truth used for?

That which reflects across multiple perspectives is objective.

Truth is used for truth thus making truth as self referential as self sustaining.

Contradictions reflect across all perspectives...

Contradictions reflect across all perspectives...

Paradoxes reflect across all perspectives with the paradox being that which is solvable. Dually that which is contradictory to one is not contradictory to another thus making the contradiction as not strictly subjective.

Using truth for the truth of utility is to use one truth for another.

What evidence is there for the existence of what we call the mind - a thing that can or can't be modelled?

The myth of abstract things runs deep and strong in philosophy and religion. But they're misleading metaphysical fictions - mysteries invented to explain mysteries of our own invention. A dog chasing its tail needs to re-think the premise.
Well, I have two show two things: A) A conscious mind exists, and B) Any change needs a conscious mind.

A:
P1) Change exists
P2) A change requires a mind (please read B Argument)
C1) Therefore, there is a conscious mind

B: Consider a change in a system, X to Y. But two conditions have to take place in order to have a change, 1) X and Y cannot coexist at the same point and 2) X has to vanishes to live room for Y to takes place. There is, however, nothing (basically 2) when X vanishes, and nothing cannot possibly cause Y. Therefore, there must be a conscious mind who experiences X and causes Y.
