colored-contents post is fairly subjectively-true-enough to live a decent life by
Well, I think it's quite important to make a clear differentiation between truthfulness and usefulness. Even if a certain belief is objectively useful (and disagree this is the case here), this is by no means evidence that the belief is correct. So to me there is no antinomy here.
I see them from a Neutral Data POV
Why do you think this is a useful point of view? If you want to evaluate truth in the context of reality, there are many things that cannot be neutral - they are either correct and incorrect and the fact that we are expressing them trough language with the help of technology does not change the fact that we are attempting to describe and understand reality as best we can.
There are indeed things that are subjective, but those are always concepts that we have come up with that usually don't have a direct tie with reality like morality, beauty or happiness. But if you describe a process like magic here that is supposed to have a direct effect on reality, than your description is either correct or incorrect in the point of view of reality. And that's what matters to me.
What's the utility of using your suggested neutral data point of view in those cases? Isn't it detrimental to our ability to discern between correct and incorrect?
Great dialogue is the result of sincerely speaking your truth and actually listening to the other in pursuit of knowledge and in acquisition of wisdom.
Agreed :)
