Is it possible to separate between what is "true" and what you have simply "learned"?

Question

I guess most of your answers are "true" - but only in relation to the way that you initially perceived my question. And the way that you perceived my question has had more to do with the way that you reacted to my question on a personal level as yourself as an individual, rather than the way you reacted to myself as a separate individual. So, perhaps re-answer as if a separate person is asking you this question who has a totally different individuality than your own, otherwise you simply answer as if you have asked yourself this question.

Answer 1

LOL. Not the more u learn... THE MORE U THINK!

Answer 2

Yes, sometimes what we learn isn't true. I learned in school that I had to have a good education to do well in life. I wasn't able to get the education due to an illness of a family member. It is hard for me to get the thought out of my mind that I can actually have a great career & made tons of money. The truth is that people have great careers & make tons of money whether they are educated or not...I saw John McCain (candidate for President in the USA) laughing on TV saying he was in the bottom of his class & now he is going to be President. So if that happens it is proof the teachers who sad you have to do well in school to succeed were wrong, the statement they made was not true. It is hard for me to get this out of my mind but if I work on it I can do it. The subconscious mind has to be retrained to think new thoughts which would be: some successful people are very educated, some people are able to succeed in life without working hard or doing well in school.

Answer 3

Well in the past, everyone KNEW that it was TRUE that the world is flat. Today, of course, we have LEARNED that the world is not flat, but instead it is round. Also, in the past everyone KNEW that the whole universe orbited around the earth and that the earth was the center of everything, but today we all have LEARNED that it is actually the sun that is the center of the universe.

So really, what is true today may not be true tomorrow and everyday we learn new things, but just as people have done before(and will probably do again) what we learn as truth today may change by what we learn is truth tomorrow.

Hope this helps :P

Answer 4

Yes.  Trial and error will give you great experience in this matter. Also,Try doing some kind of meditation, this will help you quieten your mind and give you the peace you need to weed out the trash.

Answer 5

First of all "what is true?". "what is true to you?; to me?; to everyone?"

there is no such thing about what is "Absolutely True" or "Reality" (Tabula Rasa) Everything including "what is true for us" is only perceive as judgement from past experience (studying; mistakes; and philosophy)

"trial and error" is a good example

In short; Everything including what is "true"; what we like and dislike came from our past experiences and from what we learned since our senses are functioning

Answer 6

yes, the more you learn the more you realise what you have previously learned is simply bullocks.  

Answer 7

Possible by whom to? It's confusing to decide what I did 'simply' learn were TRUE or NOT. Learning is one thing whereas finding out the TRUTH, out of that, is another. BUT it is POSSIBLE for OTHER PERSON (of course, should be an expert or a scholar) to SEPERATE the "TRUE' thing from the "simply-learned" thing by you or me!
