Liquid Truth
Recently, this quote from a song by Metric has been brought to my attention:
tu sais que tu n'aimes pas ta réalité. on ne peut pas fabriquer la vérité.
This translates roughly to:
You know that you don't like your reality; One cannot make truth.
Upon considering this quote, I find myself thinking that truth is not set in stone. If we look at the history of how things are understood, at one point something was widely accepted to be true, even within experts in the field, but have now been proven to be false. I can hear my one friend right now arguing that there absolutes, that there are truths, and I'd have to agree that there are some absolutes (like the fundamental forces in physics). But for the rest, reality is generally fluid and perceptual.
