just a thought

Truth is an artefact of the past. By this I mean, the truth of experience apexs somewhere near the most relevant point of the “recent past.” The present has turbulence and lacks analysis, the future is necessarily conjecture.

It’s too big a topic to go on about now, but it just occurs to me that I don’t often feel confident enough to say what something is without having evidence, a record from the past, and that most people, including myself aren’t terribly good at on-the-spot analysis. The greater truthes of it aren’t really available until some of the HEAT of relevance disappears.

You could say, “The world is thus….,” and someone could rightfully counter, “Well it was then…”

Say what?
