Hi Billy, > True belief is what works, false belief is what does not work. > I agree with that, though I hedge at bit:
Truth is what works What works is NOT the truth > How do I know whether something is true or false? Simple: Does my belief > make my life better or worse? > Interesting. I generally agree, but I’d refine it further: - Does this belief deliver what it promises? - Does that help make everyone’s life better in appropriate ways? - How does this match up with other truths people have experienced? That formulation also sounds like you have a binary view of True/False belief based solely on personal benefit. Is that intentional or just a simplification? My world is much fuzzier and multidimensional...
