Our prior experience, our expectations, our values, observation bias, etc. You see the facts as being evidence of your hypothesis. I see the facts as being evidence of my hypothesis. But in actuality the facts are just facts. They exist independent of our hypotheses, and my in fact be evidence of either or none of any of our hypotheses. Truth is ephemeral.

Dinah,
You wrote,[...truth is ephemeral...]
I am unsure as to what you are wanting to mean here. If you could post answers to the following, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
A. As to your use of the word {is} here, are you wanting to mean that in your opinion truth is ephemeral or it is a fact that truth is ephemeral?
B. If you are wanting to mean that truth is ephemeral as being in fact so, could you post here some authority for that?
Lou
