What is Truth?

http://freethinker.co.uk/2018/02/27/unlike-catholics-jews-have-no-concept-of-what-the-truth-is/ got me thinking, what is truth and is it really related to the person making the calling of truth/untruth?

Consider Trump, and his definition of truth, what ever that may be. There is no doubt that he considers everything he says to be the truth. That alone should cause us to pause and realize that we need a new concept for absolute truth, science truth, that separates reality truth from political truth. Morning coffee clutch truth, aka bullshit sessions, truth is a lesser known fact that in business, where truth has a limited scope, and fraud is not possible due compartmentalization, or as reverse engineering of computer systems is not copyright infringement due to the legal firewall. But collectively, these practices are plainly legal methods of committing fraud and/or other illegal activities. Building companies to sell to conglomerates is also ethically questionable for other reasons. They makes wage slaves out of many of the employees. Oh well, they have a choice, poor or bad. Independence and freedom has a cost. So does truth. Morality is truth, so is it moral to work for the money, even when the work is, well, less than totally ethical, even when your job, taken in isolation is moral and/or ethical?

But this is just semantics. Or is it truth, viewed as the big picture.

Consider the gun situation in the USA. It is a political no win, or is it? The US government could do what need to be done and create a standard of gun ownership, or it could make the NRA a legal body to control it's members, and make them responsible for control / licensing for firearms/acquisition/ utilization; similar to what Canada does for engineers/medical/dental. Now watch the squirming. What is the truth now?

Since the jew, catholics, muslims, christians, political people all have different concepts of truth, perhaps we can just pick and choose what definition of truth we wish to speak, or select a term for absolute truth. Place truth onto a nine point scale, and call it eight point truth, bullshit becomes five point truth, and religion becomes two or three point truth. One is absolute false, while nine is absolute truth. Dead or alive truth. Most of religion is just rich stores of the time when they were written, of little value now in a multi-cultural world/country.

Our natives get an unfair shake in life to start, but many whites and others start with an equal or worse shake. It is about realizing this and making an effort to correct for that start in life. Philosophy is the answer, and specifically bringing there philosophy to the conscious, and realizing we are not going to help much. Objectivism is too common now. Yous are on your own. Fix yourself. That is truth.

Carbon Dioxide rise is a nine point truth, while climate change will be damaging to us is a seven point truth, while climate change will be damaging to some people is a nine point truth. Carbon capture is not safe and practical as a long term solution as underground Co2 reservoirs will leak long term, but they could help short term. Organic carbon capture is the only long term solution, that with population reduction, or population evolution, natural reduction, or similar methods.

So what is necessary to increase carbon capture on land? Water capture to start. Irrigation of any kind helps carbon capture. Grasses are likely one of the faster methods, they store about 3/4 of their carbon below ground, but any plants are good. Animal fertilizer and grazing of livestock to control vegetation is necessary to control fire risk. So all bits of bare land should be cleaned of fire risk materials and put into organic carbon capture, that is plant grasses.
