We Know This Much Is True (thank you, Spandau Ballet!)
What’s true? Everything can’t be true. Opinions count, but not as reasons to believe. It’s my hope that this video will prompt you to explore the branch of Philosophy called Epistemology, seriously – it’s the study of the nature of knowledge and helps us to understand how we can know something. There are so many truth claims – I encourage you to add some philosophy tools to your toolbox today 🙂 (Special thanks to my son Michael for mentoring me through the years in studying philosophy.) Thank you, Spandau Ballet, for your great music! May God bless you, protect you, and give you peace!

Music: “True” (Spandau Ballet)
Words by me: Ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha. What’s true? Funny how it seems always implied, but everything can’t be true. Just because someone says it’s so, still look around as it’s told – how does it sound? We’ve all been caught up in the swirl. Will life be normal again? It’s gotten so hard to read the days’ news. Oh, we want the truth to be said. Ha ha ha ha ha. We know this much is true. Ha ha ha ha ha. We know this much is true. Wisdom now in my head and a guard on my tongue, unravel claims that just begun. Scrolling through Facebook all night long, still look around as it’s told – how does it sound? Epistemology’s a tool to tell if something is true. Opinions count, but not as reasons to believe. Oh, we want the truth to be known. Ha ha ha ha ha. We know this much is true. Ha ha ha ha ha. We know this much is true. We’ve all been caught up in the swirl-irl-irl. Will life be normal again? It’s gotten so hard to read the days’ news. Oh, we want the truth to be said. Ha ha ha ha ha. We know this much is true. Ha ha ha ha ha. We know this much is true. This much is true. This much is true. This much is true. I know, I know, I know this much is true. This much is true. This much is true.
