@St_Rev@A_P_Mason A compass points north. This is useful but not sufficient for determining one's location. -

@St_Rev@A_P_Mason An epistemic north would be orthogonal to truth but help you find true beliefs. -
@St_Rev@GrumplessGrinch@A_P_Mason I’m not sure I agree with definitions of truth where mathematical statements aren’t true. 2+2=4 is true. -
@daniel_houck@GrumplessGrinch@A_P_Mason It may be "true" but it isn't real. 2 doesn't exist.
