I don't follow your argument here. Clear up a few things.

This would be the point of disagreement.

(August 7, 2012 at 7:27 pm)whateverist Wrote: Truth follows passively, recording what has been.

So far so good. Though I'd add an "and is" at the end.

(August 7, 2012 at 7:27 pm)whateverist Wrote: Truth can never be raised up, self supporting from the history of what has been functional and lead the way.

This would be the part I don't understand. What exactly are you trying to say here?

No one ever said it did.
