I think that there are lots of “truths” that actually are arbitrary beliefs stated as illusions of truth.

Can truths only be based on experiments?

Are truths limited by our own nature, us humans living on Earth-planet?

Christ4all asked:


Is there a truth out there that is only dependant on its own true existence, a truth affecting everything no matter how much anyone denies it even exists?

religion truth

guru asked:


As philosophy concerns itself with ‘truth’, consider the following experiment. If we were to arrange an experiment where the respondent was hooked up to a mild or moderate electrical shock and shocked each time they told the truth, would the test subject avoid or fear telling the truth over time?

How many people, due to some external reaction or response, fear telling the truth in your estimation?
I think some missed the point that there is negative conditioning that may override personal, ethical or moral constraints.

You can lead a horse to water….
