You cannot define Truth

[SGOS]

Fortunately, truth is not critical and even acts as a barrier to knowledge.  Science doesn't deal in truth, but rather in probabilities.  Truth is the domain of theism where truth is used as evidence of the unknowable and the unseen.  It's the pursuit of fools.

In scientific realism, an offshoot of Platonism ... eggheads are discovering another world, thru their minds.  Originally promulgated by Pythagoras and his secret society, in regards to mathematics ... Plato extended this idea to the rest of reality.  Thus the invention of "not a true Scotsman".  The only true Scotsman is the one on the etherial Platonic plane of reality.

Science is empirically driven development of better questions, not better answers.  In that sense, it doesn't see the truth, it seeks to suppress know it all gullibility.  At least per Thomas Kuhn and Karl Popper.

Your taste in beer...or rather, lack thereof, should suffice to conclude that your opinion on anything...from acne to zinx oxide is irrelevent.

You LIKE any N/A beer?  Please tell me which one.

Do americans make beer?

Do americans make beer?

Well, you might be surprised.  Some of the world's best IPAs are coming from the US these days.  And some serious craft lagers, too.  But if you mean that crap in cans.  NO!

Thanks Cavebear.

This merits more research.

Thanks Cavebear.

In the last 20 years, small micro breweries have been popping up all over he place.  Few make it onto the national scene, and most remain regional.  By regional, I'm talking about almost small enough to be the "north end of the county."  While the breweries are tiny, they usually make a good impression on the local consumer.  And from what I understand, there is a wide variety of very good quality, but I can't speak from experience.  My drinking ended just about the time these things started popping up.  Even the small town I came from in Montana, population 2,000 has a brewery, which is held in high regard and even hosts community functions.  I'm not talking about drinking contests, but legitimate outreach events by worthwhile causes.

Americans, contrary to what you may think, can recognize bad beer.  Lord knows we've had enough experience.  We drank it because that's all there was.  So I guess that's why these mom and pop breweries caught on.  Beer made by entrepreneurs that cared about making something people would appreciate, not looking to get rich, but just wanting to be part of an industry that was sorely in need of improvement.

From piss it comes, to piss it shall return.

From piss it comes, to piss it shall return.

That's a pissy thing to say. :)

Ah, but what kind of piss? Some piss is much better than other piss. We could just recycle the piss of beer drinkers to make more beer.

Well, if you want to discuss piss, the best is after you eat asparagus!

That will never happen................I don't eat asparagus.

Ah you are missing the wonderful smell of asparagine...  But then SOME people like fish eggs...

Title: "You cannot define truth."

If that statement is true, would it not [in part] define truth?
