    Hi All,

    Everyone who believes something believes it to be true in an trancendental
    and eternal sense. What's the point of considering something is a fact if
    you don't assert it true ahistorically and eternally? Not being able to
    escape from history means we don't have to worry about escaping from
    history, we don't have to offer any disclaimers about our being stuck in
    history, it goes without saying. So since we are all in history, we can all
    assert truths as being ahistorical.

    Johnny
