Degrees Of Truth

How can something with an insignificant degree of relevancy describe an objective truth found in reality other than in someone’s mind?

That is a good question.

I may be barking up the wrong tree here but isn’t this how some important scientific discoveries are eventually made or come into focus? By building up or chipping away.
How can we at first glance know how truly significant something is in reality until it has been determined through investigation and discussion? At first, what do we do? We assume it is insignificant.
It’s like throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

It kind of reminds me of some of the Antique Roadshow episodes. Someone will throw away a picture or painting which is or has become insignificant to them without realizing the treasure which it really was. Lo and behold, a Van Gogh or a Gauguin or whatever is hiding behind or within it.

Insignificant to US. How often has a discussion began in ILP - a mediocre kind of thread begun - but then aren’t we surprised at the fruit which falls from that tree.

Many things have their own evolution, even insignificant things.

I am speaking more to knowns, objects and concepts being fallaciously related to each other or one another as if they are categorically alike, the degree of sameness is minute and detracts from the category which the people are trying to subsume their idea into as if it’s not noticed, this slight in meaning, opening the door for all kinds of hideous exaggerations and misrepresentations their erroneous connection contrives.

Wendy: could simply ask what constitutes the certainty of the ego, can’t we simply say fact? (Please don’t ask what constitutes fact…)

In my case…yes.

I don’t want to sound like a conspiracy theorist here but I too am aware of a divide that occurs especially with the language representation of knowns, objects and concepts. I can see how our whole life at current is dependent on this divide - unfortunately. To change everything in an instant would upset everything and I am not being vague but literal. If I have lost you with what I am saying please let me know as I would be happy to provide further explanation.

I just want to do it in tidbits.
