Deflationary Theory of Truth

[Anonymous No.18288875]

When did you realize that "It is true that it is snowing outside" means the same thing as "it is snowing outside"

Couple years back

I got tired of explaining to people that "it is true that Jesus has arisen", so now I just say "Jesus has arisen". It gets closer to the truth, and communicates much more sincerity and seriousness. The same as appending 'I think' to everything you say distances you from your statement, which is sometimes useful (if you are genuinely not sure about the topic of discussion) but for many things you shoupd just state your fact without excuses.

I think that the adding of 'I think' to everything comes from the Anglo fear of offending anyone in the slightest, so everyone is reduced to moral relativity. Fuck this country, I want to leave.

It is worthy of notice that the sentence "I smell the scent of violets" has the same content as the sentence "it is true that I smell the scent of violets". So it seems, then, that nothing is added to the thought by my ascribing to it the property of truth. (Frege, G., 1918. "Thought", in his Logical Investigations, Oxford: Blackwell, 1977)

If you are not a complete Schizo you should realize that
>It is true that it is snowing outside" means the same thing as "it is snowing outside"
Isn't the same. The first is nothing more than a subjective truth claim and the second is the attempt at an objective claim, which is nothing more than the other statement with different subcontext added to it.

t. go back to r ddit please

I was born knowing it. But seriously, this realization has a name?
