Knowledge is a statement.
It is a statement of one’s experience with names and words.
The names and words are a realization of repetitiveness. Repetitiveness of objects, actions and feelings.
Logic is a statement of a temporal series of repetitiveness in a reproduced phenomenon.
Correct logic means higher reproducibility. Higher reproducibility results in predictability.
Thus, higher reproducibility is often recognized as the truth.
The statement with high reproducibility in the past is shared as knowledge to be learnt. The primary role of education is the inoculation of knowledge to the next generation.
On the other hand, any repetitiveness and reproducibility are context-dependent.
Additionally, any statements are made by a single person using names and words. This person is an observer who abstracts their own experiences based on their senses into statements. Inevitably, one’s point of view is integrated into the statement. This is the perspective.
No statements can escape the constraints of context dependency and integrated perspective.
On the other hand, without context and perspective, language is useless. Imagine if everyone used different languages. Or, in each moment, one speaks a different language, forgetting the one that came before. No linguistic continuity in one’s mind. Each moment is fresh and new.
The realization of repetitiveness is reflected in names and words, and builds self-consciousness and consistency in one’s mind. Without names and words, we have no consistency in our minds.
Names and words are representations, abstractions and extractions of objects, actions and feelings. None of the objects, actions or feelings is completely neutral, independent or isolated from others. The original objects, actions, and feelings have always been associated with other objects, actions and feelings. For someone who knows the originals, they always evoke the associated objects, actions and feelings based on their own experience. Without one's own experience, the names and words remain as mere sounds.
When someone makes a statement, the selection of words and phrasing is dictated by the perspective of the person who is making the statement, regardless of whether it is intentional or unintentional.
Perspective and contextual repetitiveness dictate the correctness of knowledge. This is unavoidable and inescapable as long as we use language because our minds are inherently independent of one another. No one is a copy of anyone else.
The eternal truth does not exist because no eternal perspective and no eternal, uniform context exist. However, the truth probably exists in one’s mind with language.
