lol... Good god peep I think you need to read some poetry:
I hope this helps your con-fusion.
Nonetheless there are times when clear eyes too love the shadows,
tasting sleep uncompelled, trying the pleasure it gives,
Or a loyal man too will gaze into Night and enjoy it,
Yes, and rightly to her garlands we dedicate, hymns,
Since to all those astray, the mad and the dead she is sacred,
Yet herself remains firm, always, her spirit most free.
But to us in her turn, so that in the wavering moment,
Deep in the dark there shall be something at least that endures,
Holy drunkenness she must grant and frenzied oblivion,
Grant the on-rushing word, sleepless as lovers are too,
And a wine-cup more full, a life more intense and more daring,
Holy remembrance too, keeping us wakeful at night.
Holderlin - Bread and wine
"in his breast guarding eyeless, swift love" -- old Orphic poem fragment quoted extensively by neoplatonists
Or try reading what David says in Psalms xvii, 12: et posuit tenebras latibulum suum
blind man leading the blind,
regards,
tympan tzu plato

If one says: X
(a statement)
is true whenever Y
(Y being a set of conditions and/or criteria for something said to be true,
etc)
then one also has to ask whether by the same criteria (Y) whether the
definition/rule 'X is true whenever Y' (= Z) is true too (since it is a
statement, like X, like all Xs)).
If Z is true (by the above criteria) then all's well with the theory
(compressed as the truth of Z);
on the other hand if Z is untrue
(i.e., Z is not true when Y, i.e., 'X is true whenever Y' is untrue whenever
Y)
then the entire theory dissolves (one can never tell the truth whilst
speaking the statements of the theory (of whatever).
thus this can be a test of the theory (rather than testing for all possible
occurrences of X or taking Z on faith or considering Z a matter of
commonsense or the veracity of tradition, etc)
Or am I thoroughly confused?
