The Truth?!?!?! You can't handle the truth.

 Particularly struck by how many facets of society are supposed to be based on truth but either aren't or someone decided the truth is subjective.  Is the truth supposed to be absolute?  Can the truth change?  I was always taught to tell the truth because it never changes.    The truth shall set you free.

The legal system is fascinating - especially in a criminal sense...  I doesn't matter wether someone committed a crime.  What matters is if it can be proved before convictions can occur.  Did OJ Simpson kill his wife?  All I know is if it doesn't fit you must acquit.  Brilliant play on words.  Yet OJ went to jail.

Involved in many terminations in my time as a leader.  One in particular was interesting because the person was asked a direct question and gave an answer.  The person left the conversation and came back with a different account of the events leading up to being questioned.  Then they left again to "produce evidence" of not committing fraud and stealing money.  In our business every transaction is time stamped and recorded in the history of the reservation.  When the evidence was presented I thanked the individual and politely asked she go back to her job duties while we 'examine' the evidence.  Turns out the transaction in question was time stamped 3 minutes prior to presenting it me.  When questioned, the employee had no answer and just had the terrified look of being busted for telling a lie.  Needless to say, the aviation business was not suitable for this person's long term employment.

Many scientific studies are funded to prove a specific point.  I need a study to prove X.  A scientist goes out does a study to prove X.  Follow the science because it is absolute and based on truth.  But it's not. Someone else can do another study and it disproves X but proves Y instead.  How is that possible?

Wearing masks prevents the transmission of Covid we were told and humanity spent multiple months wearing masks.  Turns out there's a scientific study that shows wearing masks is not shown to prevent the spread of covid.  Yet there is more chatter about resuming masking due to a new variant of covid spreading.  But wait - masks don't prevent the spread.  Do it anyway.

The most controversial truth is a biological man declaring he's a woman like Dylan Mulvaney.  I assume Dylan Mulvaney has a penis.  Dylan has the pelvis of a man.  Dylan also has the same number of ribs as a man.  But he's a girl.  How can someone's truth be invalidated by indisputable facts? Because he thinks he's a woman is his mind.  Where I come from this is a mental illness known as gender dysphoria.  And people with gender dysphoria expect us to participate in the lie they tell themselves.  But that's not "the truth."  It's "their truth."  What's the difference?  I don't know - the basic premise of how society works and who can be a mother and who can be a father.  Can men become pregnant?  Men don't have uteruses.  If a trans man dates biological women does that make her a lesbian or a heterosexual?  If a trans woman dates a biological man does that make him a homosexual?  Why are we confusing the truth of science and social order?  Is it an ideology motivated to breakdown the traditional family?

I don't think we'll ever know the truth about man's affect on climate change.  The only thing that is true is the planet has been getting warmer since the ice age.  That is indisputable.  More people on the planet is in direct correlation to rising temperatures.  Is it due to burning fossil fuels.  I don't think so but I don't know.
