What is truth?

            The question of truth, or perhaps better stated, the question of the existence of truth is a fair one.  We live in a culture that has Greco-Roman culture forming the greatest part of it's foundation.  Our culture got upgrades from The Age of Enlightenment, and the Empirical Method of data collection, analysis, and conclusion.  Thus, when someone claims to believe something, everyone born and raised in this culture instinctively assesses the claim by the rules that have come to us from our cultural foundations and upgrades.  You are even now assessing what I have written by the same methods.  Even Post-Moderns, who deny the existence of a set definition for any word, do so, using those same rules to deny the existence of those rules.  You cannot escape your mother culture.
            What is so interesting to me, is that I hear people everywhere struggling to make statements that are not generalizations.  We seem to be afraid of communicating categories, for fear of offending someone, for whom that categorization would be offensive.  We go to great lengths, to avoid the use of the inclusive, ‘we’ for fear that someone would be offended that you had included them in your generalization.  We are taught to preface a statement with ‘Perhaps …’, or end our sentences with ‘whatever’.
            Yet our brains are so constructed, that we make eleven judgments per second.  We furiously categorize information for later retrieval, placing our memories of everything into ever more interconnected neural-nets, lest we forget.
