Is the statement "Claims demand evidence" always true?
RE: Is the statement "Claims demand evidence" always true?
@benny. Still reading but I'll just add a little bit of food for thought in case it's relevant to either of us: what about a lucid dream? First you are dreaming as normal and as such you take everything in the dream (the context/environment)... as true. But then you can become aware that you are dreaming.... that is you become aware of information outside the context which changes the rules of the game completely... introduces a relative underlying principle of your reality (living in the dream) that changes how you interact with it in profound (and wonderful) ways. So could that not be likened to an absolute/objective truth that exists outside the context/environment, but which can nonetheless be discovered from within the context/environment? Just food for thought.
