4 responses to “Truth and Knowing”
Like how he compares faith in knowing God is there to logical knowledge like numbers. Speaker has an interesting take on philosophy
i like what he said about gaga
he said ”truth is hard, not easy, but we should not give up on truth”. i thought this is what we are supposed to do today.
I think we could be closer to people form knowing truth.
