Real Truth

It is impossible to talk about right and wrong, good and bad without this basic agreement: truth is real and knowable but often obscured. Some truth is very obvious and very few will deny it. If I asked, "Is it true that you reading this blog?" you would probably answer, "It is true." You could answer negatively or ambiguously as those who say that there is no physical reality but all a construct of some transcendent metaphysical supper intelligence. If you did, you wouldn't sound very intelligent and any discussion with you about the subject would surely anger the TMSI (and bore the crap out of everyone else.)

If I asked, "Is it true that most politicians are deceitful?" you could either agree or disagree with an intelligent, well informed answer. This is the middle ground of truth; the things that are not obviously true and not obviously untrue. The exact real estate of this middle ground will move greatly depending on you point of view. But my goal is to ask questions, provide discussions, and hopefully answers to the middle ground of truth.
