On the topic of Alternate Facts



There are 3 types of truths:
1.  Unverifiable truths.  We can verify that we do not know.  For example:  A person can survive going through a wormhole.
2.  Subjective/Personal/Relative truths.  Exactly one and only one person can verify.  For example:  I drank a beer on Monday.
3.  Verifiable truths.  We can verify that we know.  For example:  The Earth is not flat.

Types 1 and 3 are labeled as "unknowns" and "facts" respectively.
Type 2 is an "alternate fact."

True.

I don't understand why people have a problem with this concept ;)

For all practical purposes, the theory of relativity states that reality depends on the observer. So if you are traveling at the speed of light, only seconds have passed. But to an external observer, years have passed. And they both have clocks to prove their position ;)

It is amazing to me how much significance liberals give to their alternate facts ;)

They label themselves as accepting individuals, yet they are unwilling to accept the conservative reality ;)

Side: True.

If we just label Unverifiable Truths as Unknowns and Verifiable Truths as Facts, then all we are left with is Subjective/Personal/Relative Truths. In this case it is easy to see that all truth is subjective ;)

Side: True.

Truth is objective, and there's one type: verified truth.

Being verifiable has nothing to do with it. There are truths, which are verified. That's it.

No, that's not true. But thanks for playing ;)

Verified truth is the only truth I feel comfortable with. The others register as "maybe" or "not so fast!" We get a YUGE amount of that "not-so-fast" stuff since 2017 … almost epidemic!

Alternative fact means the lib Congressmen huddled together in a room, decided it doesn't fit their narrative, & demanded the hive follow along.
