[MD] the truth is NOT out there

[Kevin Perez]

[Kevin]
The truth is not out there.  But looking for truth out there is the only way
to discover truth.
 
Agree?  Disagree?  Why?  Why not?
 
[Case]
Perhaps truth is inside and we look to the outside for validation.
 
[Kevin]
I think of validation as something done after the fact.  Were I work we
validate software and automated manufacturing processes, e.g., CNC
equipment.  The software is coded and the equipment is tooled and fixtured
and only after these steps have been taken is the process validated.
 
[Case]
Or it could be that what you describe is the internal processing. Validation
really doesn't occur until customers install and run the software in the
world outside.
 
[Kevin]
The processing is both internal and external.  But it starts with seeking answers
externally.  It end with the realization that the answers aren't out there.  This
realization is nothing less than transformative.
 
For me, Pirsig's description of Quality fits my understanding of ultimate truth.
"[It] is not objective, he said. It doesn't reside in the material world."  And "[it] is
not subjective, he said. It doesn't reside merely in the mind."  For me, these
"things" (e.g., quality, truth, meaning, love happiness, etc.) are found in
relationships.
