What we call "knowledge" is really just control. The more we "know" of our environment, ourselves, and each other, the better we are at controlling their affect on us. Which is WHY we "seek knowledge". What we're really seeking is greater control.
So, ... what we so often refer to as "truth", is really just relative functionality. If an idea of something "works" for us (gives us control over our environment), we accept it as being "true". If it doesn't "work" for us, we consider it "false".
Knowledge and truth are all about functional control. And not at all about gaining an accurate understanding of 'what is', as we are all so often telling ourselves.
Any thoughts?
