Meanwhile, the "truth is complex" part is important for me to refute! (Ouch!!!! Should I apologize??)
Aarrghh.
Anyway, please rethink that claim: In my perspective, 'truth' is extremely simple: it's black and white; binary; it's nominal. And that's the problem with it!
The world is complex; people are complex, and language is complex. That's why truth is an inadequate metric for understanding! That's why coherency is relevant to critical thinking and to argumentation and truth is not.
Is that clear enough yet, Yves;? I'm hopeful. There seems to be a breakthrough available here...maybe...what do you think?
And here we can agree to disagree, since I have a feeling we will not find a suitable meeting point. In the school of thought I study, there is no such thing as truth in the World of Form. Truth is always a crystal made of many different faces. Your personal truth can be simple, but contained within it is your personalized perception of reality, and the words used are merely agreed upon codes that can only tell one part of the story you wish to tell. The rest remains hidden behind layers of consciousness, unconsciousness, fear, education, culture, language, and so much more.
In the words of Falco Tarassaco, "Truth is Being, but to be Truth you must listen to yourself. Listening to yourself is to travel inward and overcome the appearances created by the self, from the character we have defined as personality, that is simultaneously an element of connection and repulsion of others. It is the skin that communicates. It is the skin that defends me from others, from those that are similar to myself. To the human race."[1]
