On truth :
See :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth
Truth :
1. it may be stranger than we humans CAN conceive.
2. perception will take working through too many levels of self deceit.
3. the stories we have, work well enough.
4. hubris is more important than truth.
5. the putative gods prefer us "believing" in this charade.
6. charades require contextual and method acting immersion.
7. "Mother Deceit Nature" doesn't care about "truth".

Ad hoc or rule-of-thumb truth is all we will ever "know".
There is probably a "truth" or "credibility" function in or of the
brain. Still, I know people that habitually lie. But then, don't
we all. Just a matter of degree.
