What is Truth?

[-] Telorand@reddthat.com 4 points 1 day ago

Anything supported by facts. The more facts, the more complete the truth.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 1 day ago

Technically truth is just the commonly accepted answer and not an objective fact of reality. It doesn't have to be a fact, or even real. Just that the majority of people think it is.

[-] Telorand@reddthat.com 4 points 1 day ago

I would call that belief, while "truth" is anything that's supported by facts.

Plainly incorrect, but okay

Bruh... It's literally one of the dictionary definitions of the word "truth."

[-] trolololol@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Sure but whatever definition you use, they cross it too far.
