Here's a learning problem: for Simon, for me.
Simon "believes" that.
Do I assume that he is incapable of learning to see what he has said here,
so that he can look again at his "belief" to see whether he want to
continue to believe it?
If he continues to believe it, he is not learning!
So: if I were a "consultant" helping simon to and his organization to
"learn," what do I say ano to encourage him to change his "perspective"?
Maybe I ask him to reflect on his language.
Simon, show me the "scale" that "runs" between lies and truth. Is there
really such a scale that allows you to weigh and measure truth and
falsity, or is language deceiving you into believing this? or are you
saying we can invent such a scale and all vote to behave as if it were
real?
You, Simon, believe there is such a "thing" as an absolutely unarguable
truth. I don't: I argue with that proposition. So you're clearly wrong.
Right?
Since it's obviously true that humankind is arguing about the environment,
about learning organization, about what to do about AIDS and abortion, the
search for unarguable truths is clearly pointless and hopeless.
