    William James argued for a radically subjective truth: in the face of a lack of evidence, if belief would make you happier, it is rational to believe it http://ow.ly/dLjf30lipSc pic.twitter.com/kVMidklZFx

        Perhaps Twitter cannot "verify" I am the intoxicated ghost of William James, but consider the pragmatic value of the comfort taken in this belief by my many followers, and whether we might not all benefit by acting as if I have been verified.

        @CSPeirceSpeaks who is going to play you in the movie version? Pretty sure they're getting Tom Hanks to be me, is what I'm hearing.

        I am all for subjective truth but it has to be beyond believing… like Nietzsche said, belief only proves the strength of what is believed, not whether or not what is believed is true…

        Some beliefs are verifiable as facts or objective truth, though, are they not, Ms. Henckel? Please don't worry, I am not being intentionally argumentative or provocative :) If I believe the sun will set in the west, that is a verifiable belief.
