When the waitress tells you there aren’t any tables available, but you can book one online for 15 minutes later, did the waitress lie, or was she just misinformed?
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! : )
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.
Thank you!

I agree with all of this :)
