What Is The Truth.

[arewethereyet]

Chances are, what is right or true is the exact opposite of what you think it is.  And chances are, you don't want to know the truth.  Here is one proof of that.  There are a few intellectually minded and one truthful forum out there.  They are practically ghost towns.  As for what you think is true, somebody wrote a couple of books about the topic.  They are called, "The Book Of General Ignorance:  Everything You Think You Know Is Wrong."  I have never read them.  But then again, I don't need to.  I know exactly where the author is coming from.  Now when it comes to being wrong, keep in mind this truism by Samuel Clemens.  "It isn't what you don't know that gets you into trouble.  It is what you are sure of that just isn't so."

  When it comes to the astonishing ignorance of the public in general, obviously the government is to blame.  And that is probably because the stupid are easier to rule.  Or to put it more precisely, easier to abuse.  I will give you one example of this stupidity.  Most people think out system of government is a democracy.  But it isn't.  It is a Plutocracy.  Which is rule by the rich.  But to put it more precisely, our system of government is actually a Kakistocracy.  Which is rule by the incompetent and corrupt.

  To help prove my point about the government being behind the general stupidity of the American public, I will show you a meme of something said by a former director of the CIA named William Casey.  Such an attitude no doubt existed before he was there and still goes on to this day.  No doubt with the help of the NSA, FBI and other such government agencies.  And they either directly or indirectly run this forum and every other one out there.  Consider that before you try and ask me more of what the real truth is.  Also, having read what I will show you, keep in mind that what he said isn't something one American would do to another Americans.  That is something an enemy of America would do to Americans.  So if you think religion is your biggest worry, think again.

  Ok.  Let's try this again.  At some other forums I have found that if you mention a member in a reply, they will get an alert that they had been mentioned.  Then they can see what was said.  I don't know if it works the same way here.  So this is a test.  Angrboda, no one, BrianSoddingBoru4, Fireball, Ravenshire, arewethereyet, Nay_Sayer, FollowingFeynman89, Caral Hinkey.  In this thread I posted a meme with a quote by a former director of the CIA named William Casey.  Apparently I haven't been here long enough to post a meme.  But you should all know what he said.  He said, "We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false."

No, it doesn't work that way here.

Bummer, huh?

Are you a human? Then I know exactly what you believe. And why. Here at an Atheist forum, it is easy to guess that you are probably an Atheist. But given all the other problems in the world and the reasons behind them, being Atheist means next to nothing. Despite your "fucking" reply, I would like to speak truthfully to you. I know of a forum where you can know exactly what is on my mind. You can either agree or disagree with anything. Care to know what that forum is? There are so many blockades put up between you and the truth that the only way I could get away with telling you that would be for you to email me and ask me what that forum is.

Yeah. It's a real drag.

Well, that's not happening.  If you want to share this deep, dark secret...you can send it in a PM.

Then you are probably also an atheist, according to YOUR "logic" 

Are you a human?  Then I know exactly what you believe.

Go ahead. Tell me what i beleive. I am all ears.

Col. Nathan R. Jessep is right.

Again, "What is truth?"

This is not a joke: truth is what authority (power) says it is ("to be (exist), or not to be (exist), ...).

The scientific method ("universe" (a thing) is the authority): "The scientific method is an empirical method for acquiring knowledge ..." (Wikipedia)

Hi,

One can go blunt:

Truth is what authority (-ies) says it is.

authority (n.)

...

/creation and annihilation, and states, and spaces, and politics come to mind/

or

one can go vanilla:

  Hi back.  What did you mean by "One can go blunt."  Next, the truth isn't what those in power say it is.  The truth is the truth.

People know exactly what not to say.

Why are you such a conformist to what a forum is?

Thoughts and prayers.

  That's not happening?  Big surprise!  Also, there are many deep dark secrets you aren't allowed to hear.  Which as I said, you are apparently fine with.  Also, at some forum I tried to tell somebody in a PM what forum they could freely speak to me at.  They banned me.  So much for the "private" part of PM's.
