Title: The simple truth
Post by: Xant on August 31, 2015, 10:24:11 am

Quote

"I remember this paper I wrote on existentialism. My teacher gave it back with an F. She’d underlined true and truth wherever it appeared in the essay, probably about twenty times, with a question mark beside each. She wanted to know what I meant by truth."
— Danielle Egan (journalist)

Friends, enemies, lover-boy.

I present to you:

Wherein Yudkowsky explores what it means when something is true. The style of writing is quite entertaining and the text contains many an oblique science reference.

Better than "The Horrible Truth: Xant's face."
