I've always thought of your grade 2 truth as "my truth", part of my identity, something I know by feel, not facts. I really like this.

This is super interesting and thought-provoking. The difference between grade 1 and grade 2 truths shows a layered reality we're always navigating.

It's natural to focus on grade 1 truths. They are the "objective" and quantifiable aspects of the world. Yet the point about grade 2 truths is compelling. They shape our connections and values.

I'm intrigued by the impact of grade 2 truths on our fragmented society.

The real challenge is how we collectively raise the standard of truth in both grades. Maybe the antidote to bullshit is a vigilant state of curiosity.

That’s where both kinds of truth can intersect. And it’s not just about finding the right answers; it’s about asking better questions. Thanks for this! : )
