Staying alive requires knowing truths.

Knowing what is poisonous and what is nutritious.
How poisonous? Whether all bright colored things are poisonous?
How poisons harm us? How we can make antidotes?


Knowing how to fight our illnesses.
Knowing how to turn an asteroid heading towards us into dust.
Knowing how to create energy without degrading the environment we live in.

Truth gives us godly powers, won't we also need godly character.

But how do we know what is true?
Is there something like absolute truth or is it all relative?
If it helps us survive better - it's must be true. A white lie must be true?
What about shared myths?
