Book 4: Whose Truth Matters

President Biden and his followers “choose truth over fact.” This book looks at some of the pitfalls of that approach. If one chooses truth over fact does that eliminate the scientific method which is based on fact? If I choose truth over fact when I testify in court, am I allowed to ignore the evidence (facts) in the case and simply go with my gut? There are over 4000 religions (estimate) in the world, reflecting that there is little agreement on what is the truth. If I force the people over whom I reign, to accept only my truth have I not established myself the head of a new authoritarianism religion and a totalitarianism government? Should teachers be allowed to ignore the books chosen for them to teach from and substitute their own truth in its place? Should the police simply decide guilt or innocence on the spot based on their assessment of the truth? (It would save a lot of court time and we could get rid of prosecutors and defenders and maybe even those troublesome judges.)

These are merely a small scattering of the ideas touched on in this book. 

Perhaps as you read this you can help me figure out how we can arrive at the truth and at the same time ignore reason and fact. The alternatives to facts seem pretty sinister, but I keep looking for the non-facts that support truth. I take a few shots at my professional family (Psychiatric Assoc.) as well as some in the worthless and dishonest media.
