Interesting comment. You seem to have revealed the paradox of multiple
truths. If I'm right that there is only one way that reality is, then we
can simply dismiss all of your explanations of multiple truths as false.
However, if you are right that there are multiple truths, then all of our
explanations are true, including mine that there is only one truth! After
all, my explanation does pass the test of truthfulness. It is logical,
empirical, and brief. So I guess in your system, there can both be one
truth and multiple truths at the same time. It doesn't make sense to me,
but if you accept it, then there's no reason why you should be disagreeing
with me. I'm just as right as you are!
