I can’t help but notice that the momentary flicker of dew drops on a spider web are true, just as the frenetic bites from a cloud of hungert mosquitoes is utterly authentic, as is the desperation of a caribou racing to escape the attacking mosquitoes.
Truth vs. Belief - how do we differentiate? Is what we believe true for us, even if it is not true for another? Is truth not subjective? Are there absolute truths? Asking for a friend 😉
I think subjective truth is relative. For example, you might think that the space directly over your head is “up”, but birds flying above you and everyone on the other side of the planet would call it “down”. Those perspectives are also relatively true. The greater truth is that there is ultimately no fixed up and down, but this does not make the concepts meaningless.
We should approach new technology as our ancestors did with the advent of flint spearheads, with care.
Precautionary Principle
“Truth… it is self sustained.”
That which is the Truth is eternal. A calm and silent mind is an authentic mind.

It's the things that don't matter that the calm mind gets completed lost in.
