Truth poll

[ciphergoth]

I should really post this on a Monday but I might as well do it now. A whole bunch of assertions to do with truth that it occurred to me to poll about...

I've had similar experiences. For me, the question is whether I'm in control of the beliefs (and can draw what I need from the experience) or whether the beliefs are in control of me (and limiting my behaviour and/or understanding).

This links to Paul's question, "Where science fails to grasp what it reaches for, other approaches may be needed". My initial reaction was to think of politics; we have far from perfect knowledge yet still have to make decisions. Uon's comment reminds me that this is true of the psyche too, only more so. It also holds for relationships and dealing with people in general.
