@neiltyson Makes perfect sense. What is objectively true requires no further validation; what we believe (or hope) to be true does.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson there’s no choice in objective truths. “Hey man, this kilogram is 2.2 pounds—let’s bond” - 1 more reply

@neiltyson It's not just bonding with each other. It's everything we perceive and want to believe. Perception is reality. Unfortunately. -
@TundraVision@neiltyson No, perception is not reality. Rather, reality is perceived. -
@dkazmer@neiltyson We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are. Our perception is merely outward self-reflection. - 1 more reply

@neiltyson@ClaireMax misuse of the word belief. I know it seems like a pendatic point but its exactly important -
@Goldrushcomic@neiltyson how is it a misuse? -
@ClaireMax@neiltyson To believe dosnt mean blind faith. It just means to hold a claim or true. You still believe in objective truths.
