          How do you know. If I tell you it doesn’t exist how do you prove it. You can say we see it. And I can tell show you illusions or examples of how we hallucinate or theories and simulations. There is a Truth no doubt. But we deal with truths always.

            Whether truth exists is a different question from whether we one can prove it.

            However, we know the sun exists because of its effects on us. Light, heat, gravity.

            The multiple independent effects which can be experienced all around the world, reliably and consistently.

              But that doesn’t prove that those really exist. I can dream/Imagine/hallucinate/simulate that those things exist and that they work together. It’s like trying to nail down the question of who you are. Are you some observer inside your brain or are you something more holistic. There are absolutely things in my body I don’t control. It acts on its own. I observe and at times act against my own desires, needs and wants fairly often. So who am I if I don’t have full control of me.

              All this to say while we argue this, this Republicans innately understand the truth is not something that is easily understood. They expertly have used it to create the current world while people on the left scratch their balls wondering what’s wrong with the world. What’s wrong is that the left have not adapted in 60 years. They’ve actually devolved. They are miserable and toxic. They reject any advances in technology. There actively alternate themselves from tools and resource and social groups who do not meet their ever changing and growing demands for moral and ethical superiority. The left have fallen behind and they use excuses about ethics and morality as the reason they’re failing instead of taking ownership for being a regressive group with almost nothing to offer anyone in today’s world.
