“How Nice of You”
Truth is important.
If you do not agree with me, kick rocks.
But, we do need good judgement for a better quality of truth.
For example, a popular metaphor of truth says,
“2 + 2 = 4”
That’s correct.
This math is very logical and right.
But, for philosophy, it’s also… immature.
You know we have better math than that!
By the time Americans graduate high school, Trigonometry is a better truth.
Trigonometry says,
“Tangent = Opposite ÷ Adjacent”
You know math is not just numbers, right?
Math without language is like ice cream without degrees.
We really need it.
The language for Trigonometry is closer to the math of responsible truth.
Equations are more original for such definition.
“Tangent = Opposite ÷ Adjacent” has better philosophical judgement than,
“2 + 2 = 4”
From looking at the popular metaphor again, we don’t even know if any 2 is opposite.
