Why do we continue to base on that wrong concept of the moving sun to make distinction between east and west? If I say I am residing in the west, how can you tell I am exactly on what part of the world?
It seems that, I am living in the west of the countries which started to see the fixed light of the sun over 23 hours before mine.
And it seems that we don't follow any truth, but we only follow conventions. But many people keep on telling that truth is based on what they see like the sun (which they can never touch!). Because conventions are not eternal truth (like national constitutions), so we have to rewrite them more and more often. And finally, we base on what truth to act as dictators (who claim to hold the truth!) or as supporters of a dictator (who claim to follow the truth!)? If there were no truth, how would we seek consensus to make new conventions? If we could not make new conventions to suit this global time, should intelligent beings accept to live under anarchy?
