How come truth is such a slippery beast?

A quote by Douglas Hofstater.

If you find the truth, you will become invincible. A quote by Epictetus.

What is truth the ultimate guide?

Warning this is a very advanced episode, so be careful.

It's my great honor and privilege to be able to be the first person today in your life to tell you what truth is.

Nobody has ever told you in your entire life

what truth is.

This is a big deal. Now that doesn't mean you're going to understand what I'm saying, but it's a big deal to understand what truth is. A common misconception that people have about truth is they think

that scientists, academics, philosophers, or priests and rabbis understand what truth

is and they don't. They don't. Truth is something

that transcends science which is something that just doesn't compute in the

minds of most ordinary people.

So we're going to work through all that.

But this is a very tricky topic.

The amazing thing is, though, and the good news news here is that it actually is possible to know what the truth is and to understand it

So this is not just speculation and theory on my part and in fact my bold claim here is is that I have become directly

conscious of absolute truth and that you can too so it's not that I have some

special privilege here you can do it. Everybody can do it.

The problem is that nobody does it,

or hardly anyone does it.

So I will be explaining why this is the case
