Facts, Opinions or Lies

A fact is a statement that can be proved true or false. A statement being a lie is dependent on it being false, and that the person making it knew it was false.

An opinion is a statement that cannot be proven true or false, as determined by the subjective nature of the word choice.

A belief is when someone makes a statement as a fact while knowing it is either unprovable one way or another, or proving it true or false is currently outside the scope of human understanding.

The misunderstanding of these three words is the basis by which most misinformation is spread. Belief.

But it's not ... I'm trying to expose you to wisdom and skeptical, critical thinking.
how is that not a fact. is nihilism unprovable? because they dont believe in truth right? i think cornel west said it was an interesting theory but hes wrong, or maybe he was talking about neitzsche

the problem with the world is most of it is an intentional lie. ppl also live in fear, they dont really believe. for example theyre surviving but not living. and theres very little political belief. ppl probably think they are powerless, and if they do know some of their power they are non believers to the extent that they dont do enough.

probably because quite often when you speak the truth you get crucified. that can mean losing your job. julian assange had a show trial.
