What I consider to be true is A: nothing, B: something I read in a Kurt
Vonnegut book I found interesting. What the general population considers
to be true is what you just said. What most people consider true and
what some people tightly hold onto is social constructs. They insist
that these ideas one of them came up with once is not just a concept but
a objective law of reality. Their ideas are hard as rock and exist in a
static state but the world does not so they shape the world to that
image. If something they consider true isn't true they will make it
true. If they one day decide every cow is green they will be very quick
to formulate and execute a plan to turn every cow green instead of
change their world view.
