Hi Mark,?
Need to step back a bit. What is truth??
Marsha?

Hi Marsha,
A species of the Good according to the moq.

This means there is no absolute truth - although if you want to be clever you can insist that this statement itself is true, so there is at least one truth candidate for being absolute (paradox)?- but truth?is more moral than social patterns:

Truth can be verified without appeal to social patterns; building to form a consensus of pragmatic values until the consensus is modified by further observation. It may therefore be said that truth evolves toward a state of higher value.
