This is Stand to Reasons, hashtag S-Hare-ask podcast. Welcome and thank you for joining us.

And we're going to start with a question from Chelsea today.

Hi, Greg. I've heard truth doesn't change and it doesn't contradict itself. But how does

yearly change fit into that? For example, I'm 38 one year and 39 the next or 5-4 one year and

55 the next. I was definitely 38, but now I'm not. Does this create an argument for relativism?

No, it doesn't.

It doesn't.

I'm just chuckling.

I've been asked this question before.

And this is why I'm a little bit jaundiced about the way sometimes people define truth.

It's true for all people, all times, and all places, or something like

that. I said, this is just not helpful because many things that are true don't follow that

pattern. And also, the true for language, it's equivocal because it doesn't distinguish between subjective truth and objective truth.

It's an attempt to define objective truth, but when somebody says, well, it's true for me today, but it's not true for me tomorrow.

Now, that would be true about age, for example, as is brought up here, and it also could

be true about moral opinions.

Well, I used to believe this and now I believe that.

So now a different thing is true about me.

And so that way of characterizing, it doesn't help, I think, in giving us, allowing us to get our teeth into the concept of truth.

A thing is true if it's a fact when it's uttered.

How about that?

A thing is true if it's a fact when it's uttered.
