(August 3, 2019 at 1:22 pm)EgoDeath Wrote: I think that myths and mythical stories, in the past, provided people with bits of truth and wisdom through otherwise fictional stories. I think that, in today's world, they're unnecessary. We can get truth from science and the scientific method, as well as rational thinking and empiricism. But we then have to ask, how do we get our 'widsom?' Certainly, wisdom still has value in 2019 and beyond.

Wisdom?  Perhaps.  Truth?  Why is it a myth if it tells truth?
