[QUOTE="GGWP, post: 47350, member: 93"] Look into epistemology; the general consensus is that truth is based on group consensus (consensus theory), but that mainstream truths are rebuffed through empirical analysis, such as with the scientific method that aims to be as neutral as possible. Regarding the individual truth is just mental patterns that, on average, contributed to the inclusive fitness of your genetic lineage. Actually, gut feeling is pretty accurate most of the time, because instinct is conditioned by selection pressures that are typically constant enough to form a consistent reaction. Gut reactions are salient when it comes to raw survival, but I would say that the environment today can have some differences that can turn instinct into dogmatic stereotype. In any case, I would even go so far as to say that the concept of truth as rationalized by humans does not exist, such a concept is an anthropocentric projection manufactured for inclusive fitness gains. Even at a basal level the universe is steeped in (literal) uncertainty. The human mind is not a truth machine, it spins shadows into shelter, and the drive to be correct corresponds with fecundity. Truth is extremely malleable. With any attempt to assert truth, you must first recognize the architecture that imposes it. In the case of post-enlightenment logical positivism, this is a byproduct of systematizing sovereignty biased by androgenic brain regions such as the inferior parietal lobule, caudate nucleus and basal ganglia, something that has been noticed and backpedaled via a surge of 'inclusiveness' because world leaders have realized that the noosphere was retrofitted as per the proclivities of a small caste of autistic european males and their neurological imposition of 'logic'. The world is not 'logical', at a fundamental level it's not deterministic or 'sensible', it's just that humans interpret the world as predictable because such conclusions are amenable to superior survival.
