Irene asked
What about virtual reality? It exists and doesn't exist at the same
time. Therefore, it's true and false at the same time, no? Or since
hate sometimes (often, really, it's all so unconscious) masquerades as
love, love can be true and false at the same time too, no? For that
matter the relativity of the word 'truth' can make it true and false at
the same time. Yes?
A modest suggestion: states, feelings, emotions, and even words
themselves are neither true nor false. Those epithets are reserved for
statements, propositions, judgments, and the like.
But enough metaphysics.
