Wise words Glass Joe
Uplift, yes or no is fine when the question asked is clear, and can be answered in a way that's definite and requires no further explanation. You didn't initially ask only one question. You posed many. None were simple. As has been pointed out, your questions ask for an answer that can't be provided by anyone else.
You followed up with a clear question, but because it followed from a topic worthy of discussion, not just a single-syllable answer, that is why you got more than you requested.
This is a discussion forum dealing with a range of topics, some, such as this one, which are difficult to conceptualise. 'yes' or 'no' doesn't suffice in this situation.
You say to demand truth. Well, that's what I'm giving you, and I have no doubt that the others have done the same. But our truth, in this case, is not (and cannot) be the ultimate truth you're after, but the simpler truth of our own beliefs. Because when dealing with a question which we, as humans inside our proverbial fishbowl, can't find an objective truth for, all we can do is offer our opinion on what we think, or believe, the answer is. That's what I meant by 'stories are all we have'. Of course that's not
all we have, but in the case of
things we don't yet understand, that
is all we have, and what we're offering you.
