Truth
Definition
Applications
"That’s another hallmark of truth, is that it snaps things together. People write to me all the time and say it’s as if things were coming together in my mind. It’s like the Platonic idea that all learning was remembering. You have a nature, and when you feel that nature articulated, it’s like the act of snapping the puzzle pIeces together".

You have to sacrifice your life to the logos in order to prove its existence.
