Universal Truth by Larry John
I would like to hold fast to the scientific method of proving, pragmatically of course, our declarations of truth. If we declare truth to be true based on “my feeling,” then every belief or declaration of truth I hold to be true can have no more validity than someone else’s declared truth based on “their feeling.” Practically and pragmatically, truth must be more than mere “gut feelings” or wherever in your body you get your “feelings” from. When the truth is put to the scientific test of reason, logic, and experience, and the result or experience is universal for all…. that can be called truth. I am looking for truth that has the same predictable and practical outcome or effect each and every time for each and every individual. That’s the scientific or pragmatic way of testing our thinking. Being true 50% of the time ain’t odds. Think about it.
