The only truth that can be told without some fragile agreement is the understanding “I am here now.”

To you that’s subjective
To me it’s objective

The whole of the truth is “I am.”
Everything else is either a lie, a misunderstanding, or some fragile consensus/construct.

Even I am is just a construct of the self trapping itself in soft barriers.

There is self
There is here
There is now
All three connected..
Here and now being implied when making the statement.

Wyt gc? :huh:
I’m bored and I’m at Royal life oly <_<

Then ask yourself if suffering exists. And if so, do people intentionally create suffering to themselves or others.

Nothing you own is for sure in existence would you mind if I came and took it from you then? Since you can't be objectively certain I or your possessions exist, what does it matter anyway?

the "I am here now." presupposes meaning, time, language, spacial dimensions, identity, consciousness and other categories that do not have epistemic justification. you must have a worldview that justifies and grounds these before claiming objective truth or your statement is just ad hoc.

If by "I am" you are referring to how God answered Moses, yes. That's my vote. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the light.

Only Good is real.

Evil is a descriptive term relative to the absence of Good.

Similar to how Light is Real, as in the presence of photons interacting with your retina or other detecting source.

Dark is not real, it is merely a term relative the absence of Light

Descartes would disagree.

The "I am" is fine(explained in Descartes meditations on first philosophy), but you can't know that the "here" you are experiences is real, and you can't know that the "now" is really now.

curious? darkness, a state of nonexistence?
curious? partial darkness, a state of partial nonexistence

implications are scary?
