What Your U Won’t Teach U, But U Are Apt to Catch Anyway

Veritas Forum

Louisiana State University

February 18, 2008

What is it that “your U won’t teach U but U are apt to catch anyway”? Dallas argues that it is shallow and dangerous morality.

The Value of Truth and What Happens When U Don't Have It

Veritas Forum at

Louisiana State University

February 17, 2008

Why is truth so valuable? It enables you to deal with reality successfully. Reality is what you run into when you’re wrong. Simply believing something doesn’t make it true or false. Truth is accuracy of representation. You know something if you’re able to represent it as it is on an appropriate basis of thought and experience.
