What Are The Prospects Of Encountering Truth In Data?
Inside data, truth is the most valued commodity because we base everything on it, everything is based on the data.
However, outside data, or the “data gathering process”, the possibility or potential for falseness appears to be the greatest cause for concern.
Maybe we should look at the data gathering process? What exactly does is involve? How reliable is it? How prone, or un-prone to human error is this process in general? Might there be a margin of error in its gathering somewhere? somehow? If so, where? If so, how?
Or, if you know you can manipulate or control someone based on the data you give them, then it would be in your best interest to give them data that serves it. This may not always be the truth.
So again, we have the strong prospect for falseness occurring in our data, data that we are increasingly relying on more, and more for just about everything. In addition, data is the past, it’s what was, therefore it’s never an accurate reflection of what actually is. Data is thought. And we all know the old expression around computer program arguments: “garbage in…, …garbage out.”
Therefore, instead of relying on data perhaps it might better serve us to rely on our one direct observation when seeking truth??

Is any of this true?
Please look to see if you can see what is being point to here for yourself. Observe like a scientist, impartially. If you’re partial to something other than what it is you’re observing while you’re observing, then you’re probably not really observing, and if you’re not observing then you have no chance of “seeing” and then really changing.
