My Response to Bradon's Post on Ning for Week 11

Freddie,

So it's funny how poignant and well timed your responses can be. What is best of all is that we both thought of "A Few Good Men" in our response to finding truth. Below is my response to Brandon's awesome mirror response. I'll also be uploading my new video shortly. Today's the day we must seize it!

"To address truth. I'm not sure we are looking for the truth, or for that matter that most of us want to see the truth. (Yes,
you may insert the funny "A Few Good Men" line here. . . But you can't handle the truth!) I feel that the word truth has been
thrown around like a rag doll, a cover-all, an excuse to claim we are looking for something more significant, letting us hide
behind it's glory, "No mom! I swear I'm looking for the truth!" And in this search what do we find?

That's the question folks, an emptiness maybe? A man hiding behind a panel pulling levers? (ala Wizard of Oz, ala John
Barth's "The Funhouse") I am begging to differ with your opinion that "the little endeavors we make in our lives, the tiny bits
and pieces that make up our lives, which help us make sense of Truth", because I don't think these are little pieces of truth,
rather just perspective from our opinions of how the world works. Freddie and I are working on a blog about truth from
Phaedrus and this is something that comes up, so I am going to quote him here.

He uses an example of being color-blind and if 99 color-blind people see an apple as blue and one person, not color-blind,
sees the apple as red what is the truth? This all comes down to the facts. Is the apple red a fact? Just because 99 people see
the apple as blue does it make it blue? What if it were a million people? Does it change the fact that the apple is red? THe
fact is that the apple is red, yet no matter what you tell the color-blind people they will always see that apple as blue. Does
the truth change? No. Does perspective change? Absolutely."
