*Is truth factual?* *Ironically, in truth, no.* Is truth factual....yes....that is what makes it true. However, I think you have your terms conflated a bit too much here. You are questioning the nature of truth? Anyway you are using that word. But you are describing 'belief'. Truth and Belief....two separate archetypes. Truth and Fact....can be same archetype. My name is Braven....is a true statement. It is also a fact. This is one method of verifying truth....it is a known fact....otherwise....it ventures into belief. Interesting...in just another thread about the nature of language and truth in general.....a similar discussion is on the rise. Not sure if what I wrote helps your theory at all...but well worth the discussion if you are so inclined. Peace.😇

Truth: The floor will hold my weight. Fact: The floor has held my weight. The first statement is non-factual, but true. The second is both factual and true. Every single time I require the floor to hold my weight there is a non-zero chance that it won't. Nonetheless, my confidence in it is "true" and it verifies my claim by holding my weight.
