Truths


(Z.1) No truth is false but a truth in time present can become false in time future.

(Z.2) Two kind of truths exist, namely objective truths and subjective truths.

(Z.2.1) A postulation is considered to have objective truth when its truth conditions are met without bias caused by the mind of a sentient being. That is, truth is a property possessed the object itself. As examples include the earth revolves around the sun and the sun does not revolve around the earths. Both are taken to be objective truths.

(Z.2.1.1) Objective truths cannot be altered by human thought.

(Z.2.1.1.1) Postulations falsely held as objective truths can be disproven by human thoughts. As an example, the once held objective truth that the earth is has been disproven as a truth at all.

(Z.2.2) A postulation is considered to have subjective truth when its truth conditions are met with bias caused by the mind of a sentient being. As an example, the statement that "It’s hot/cold outside" is a subjective truth that depends upon the perception of the speaker of what is hot or cold. Morals are another example of what might be taken as subjective truths by sentient minds.

(Z.2.2.1) Some would argue that all scientific knowledge is subjective truths because they depend upon perceptions resulting from observations of actions thought to be the product of causes and effect. This philosophy holds that scientific knowledge gained by observation is objective knowledge unless proven otherwise.

(Z.3) Postulations held as logical truths and mathematical truths can result in a conflict called a paradox which cannot be proven any further by a given system of logic truths or mathematical truths. A famous example of such a paradox is If the village barber shaves all and only those villagers who do not shave themselves who shaves the barber? Another in mathematics is "What set contains the set of all sets?"

(Z.3.1) That a set of logical truths or mathematical truths cannot extend beyond a paradox is a truth that any and all systems of logic and mathematics are incomplete and cannot be used to prove all truths.

(Z.3.1.1) This incompleteness reveals itself in the processes of mind in the human brain that often result in moral paradoxes. As an example, if one holds the morals that one should not lie and that one should act with kindness to another, what do you do if the other person asked you for your opinion of their new hairstyle and you thing it looks horrible? In the case you must violate one or both of your morals to give an answer. Are you unkind and say that it looks horrible or do you lie and say it looks beautiful? How do you decide your the action of your answer to the question? Which one of you is to suffer the emotion of pain (you by not telling lying or the other by lying) and which one the emotion of pleasure (you by telling lying or the other by not lying) ? Your system of moral reasoning has reached its limits and must use some valuation of the two morals in this particular case to decide your response of which the morals in and of themselves are incapable of producing by reason of pure logic alone. Indeed, a moral is a moral and all are absolute and of equal relevance until evaluated one against another for each case to which they are applied.

(Z.4) The only absolute truths are the laws of nature. Any apparent incompleteness associated with them is the result of our lack of knowledge and understanding of them. The laws of nature is the foundation upon which all objective truths and subjective truths are built.

Summation

(Z) No truth in and of itself can be false but may become false in time future. Proposition of a truth maybe either objective or subjective. Objective truths cannot be altered by human thought but subjective truths can. Subjective truths may result in paradoxes which cannot be resolved with human thought. The laws of nature are absolute and inviolate objective truths.
