And, very laughably, YET here this one is the one who is the MOST CLOSED one to the IDEA that, JUST MAYBE, there is One Truth.Lacewing wrote: ↑Fri Nov 26, 2021 7:52 amThe alternative I see is to always remain open to further possibility while being functional in the world.Alexis Jacobi wrote: ↑Fri Nov 26, 2021 12:04 am ...part-and-parcel of our disposition to arrive at concrete decisions, concrete answers.

LOL YET here you are spending a great deal of your life continually INFORMING people and PREACHING to them here, in this forum, that THERE IS NO One Truth.
Which is a BLATANT and OBVIOUS CONTRADICTION in and of itself.
'more' to 'what', EXACTLY?Lacewing wrote: ↑Fri Nov 26, 2021 7:52 am It's actually more skillful (I think) to be able to traverse unfolding territories.
Well, I'm suggesting that there's always 'more'.Alexis Jacobi wrote: ↑Fri Nov 26, 2021 12:04 amAren't you here making a personal, philosophical and existential recommendation? Underneath it, it seems to me, is a truth-claim of one sort or another.Lacewing wrote:But what happens when they let go of needing to be 'right', and realize how much more there is than that?
Is there 'more' to what is ACTUALLY True, Right, and Correct, for example?
If yes, then HOW, EXACTLY?
HOW could there be 'more' to what is ACTUALLY True AND Right?
Are you even able to provide an example of how this could even be a possibility?
Thee One and ONLY True and Right Correct Answer is OBVIOUS, that is once one KNOWS HOW to obtain these types of Answers.
But because you are completely CLOSED, and thus NOT OPEN AT ALL, to this Answer, you will NEVER come to KNOW It.
But, OBVIOUSLY NO one 'needs' to. However, there is One who JUST DOES.
LOL But there is NOTHING 'more' to the CLAIM, and BELIEF, that THERE IS NO One Truth, correct?
If this is NOT correct, then are you OPEN to the CLAIM that there IS 'more' to the BELIEF that there is NO One Truth?
Oh, and by the way, are you YET able to SEE the CONTRADICTION in your CLAIMS here?
If you are NOT, then could this be because you are NOT YET OPEN to there being 'more' to the CLAIM of yours here?
We will have to WAIT to SEE if you can create the simple act of allowing there to be 'more'. I wonder HOW LONG we will HAVE TO WAIT, for you?
So, have you allowed and created 'broader potential' to your OWN, THERE IS NO One Truth CLAIM, YET?Lacewing wrote: ↑Fri Nov 26, 2021 7:52 amIt allows and creates broader potential.Alexis Jacobi wrote: ↑Fri Nov 26, 2021 12:04 amSo the question I would ask, to you, is What do you gain by holding to that view? (If you do not mind me asking a direct question). What is the function of it?
If no, then WHY NOT?
LOL
LOL
LOL
Are you OPEN to the POSSIBILITY that THERE ACTUALLY IS One Truth?
Your VERY Honest and OPEN clarification here will be MUCH APPRECIATED. That is; IF you PROVIDE it.
Here is a PRIME EXAMPLE of one who is being completely BLINDED by their OWN BELIEFS, and thus completely and utterly FOOLING "themselves"
Just as long as you keep 'trying to' fit EVERY thing into your OWN made up and very 'limited There is NO One Truth model, correct?
It would, and DOES, if you would ACTUALLY DID IT.
