RE: Restored (and a final story for Luke and Daniel)

Jim, little t truth is not truth as applied to the specific. Little t truth
is not related to Big t truth by the specific The implicit discussion in
all these months is about; what is true about truth. One characteristic of
truth is that it is not personal property, it exists on its own apart from
the observer. How can we know that there exists anything apart from the
observer. We don't with philosophy but if you want to relate with others
there is no other way. And as far as I can tell relationships between
people is all that really matters so Truth matters. I could be wrong on all
this, we flawed human lumps of mud can't escape error or flaws, but with big
T truth, I have meaning that I can share, and it can be shared with me. I
suspect most of that chemical psychological help needed now days stems from
the need to relate to others and that need being frustrated. I am sure
Scottie has an opinion on all of this and if we squeeze him hard enough we
can get it out of him, like "fascist" was pinched out of John O. Jim, don't
feel bad, we are all missing something hence our need for others. Jim,
sadly we are often in the realm of little truths good thing we live in
tents. We are all like Franny, a bunch of Pilgrims and hopefully not lost
in that realm. And for the record, a loaded German pistol is not the door
out.

So far as I can tell, he's already done this repeatedly.
  

Now, there has been no emphatic claims of being better by anyone, but there
definitely have been implications of inferiority, 6 of one or half dozen of
the other. Neither Luke, Robbie, nor I invented big T truth we just
accepted it,

Big T truth about "what," though? -- We don't know this except in
relationship to specific topics. I agree with what you say about Truth
consisting of person, but so far as I can tell that hasn't been a subject of
discussion at all. We've always been in the realm of little truths about
specific people and ideas, unless I'm missing something.
