Episode Synopsis "Truth and It's Many Abstractions"
The concept of "Truth" is arguably one of the most important concepts to dominate the landscape of ideas. From pre-socratics to existentialists to religious folks to empiricists, truth has been contemplated in different and unique manners for each. In our 21st century, we have those who claim they have grabbed truth by the neck and only they have access to it---scientific Atheists and religious fundamentalists are great examples of this. The main divide between science and religion is this conceitedness of people on both sides, each claiming that their dogma is a better representation of truth than the other. We discuss in this episode how Atheists, Fundamentalists, and political ideologues all are wrong because they have a grip on only one representation of truth. To humbly edge closer to Truth, we must recognize different levels of abstractions of Truth. Some of these abstractions include "Religious Truths", "Psychological Truth", "Pragmatic Truth", "Mathematical Truth" (Kailey expands on this in the episode), and many more. Perhaps, to reconcile science and religion, not fall prey to intellectual hubris, and become more intimate with Truth, we must seek to understand its complexity and never settle for simple explanations.
