How do you know if something is true?
Added 2023-07-16 22:28:47 +0000 UTCAfter several delays, I am so excited to finally be releasing this one. It's been a long time coming. I put off making it for awhile initially since I was so worried about getting it correct. Overall, I'm proud of how it turned out.
But what do YOU think? Is that truly true? Is the truthiness of this video truthy enough for truth tellers everywhere? Let me know. :)
And also, thank you for your continued support!

websters. like ive never heard the defenation of truth used the way its defined. useally i hear people use it to mean a fact that exist despite what you accept as real or not.

2023-07-18 01:53:16 +0000 UTCYeah, it basically just means any time we are out of our comfort zone when we face values, beliefs, or an identity that is different than our own. It's a big reason why we have such polarization today, because people don't like to feel cognitive dissonance, so they dig their heels in deeper and cling onto a tribe even more.

2023-07-17 13:36:56 +0000 UTCCan you explain cognitive dissonance more? Ive heard it used by my Therapist use it in a way that means "to do something apposed to your values."

2023-07-17 13:14:31 +0000 UTCContext definitely is sooo freaking important.
Mr. Beat
2023-07-17 13:05:20 +0000 UTCWhich dictionary you referring to?

2023-07-17 13:04:57 +0000 UTCCureency is reversed when studying history. you would expect Pat Garrett to know about Billy the Kid more accuratly then someone today.

2023-07-17 11:17:58 +0000 UTCYou're well ahead of me when I was your age, I gotta say. I was kind of close-minded back then.
Mr. Beat
2023-07-17 11:16:16 +0000 UTC"we don't have enough information yet" is also a great response because it gives us something to aim for. Glad you dug this one!

2023-07-17 10:25:49 +0000 UTCHa! I was waiting for the word, epistemology to appear and then you mentioned it during the end credits! Very well done, Mr. Beat! Aside from the honest, "I don't know" answer; sometimes I will also say, "we don't have enough information yet." Dig it.

2023-07-17 06:39:03 +0000 UTCWell I appreciate it much! And that's pretty cool that you already caught that.
Mr. Beat
2023-07-17 02:01:29 +0000 UTCI'm famous! No, but really, this was good stuff, as always. This is a great example of why I contribute, however modestly, to your channel.
