Will to truth

One might ask why the press has been so willing to go along with the doctors in this connection, to the point of distorting the over-all truth about LSD. There is in fact a fundamental dilemma involved here, and it is one that editors run into rather frequently. In short, should a newspaper tell the truth, or whole truth, when the public safety might be better served by silence or half-truths ... 

Hermetis saith It is a single Numen, a divine, wondrous, and holy office, while it encloseththe whole world within it, and will become true with all else, and truly overcometh the elements and the five substances. Eye hath not seen, nor hath ear heard, neither have entered the heart of any man, how the heaven hath naturally embodied to truth of this Spirit, in it the truth doth stand alone, therefore it is called the voice of truth. To this power Adam and the other patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, owed their bodily health, their long life, and finally prospered in great wealth thereby. 

The next step is to determine how the survey will be administered. The four main ways to administer surveys are self-administered, face to face, mail, and telephone. When patients self-administer the surveys, they can answer the questions on their own. They are sometimes more willing to be truthful with sensitive information, such as income or sexual orientation. This method decreases the bias that can be introduced by an interviewer and also is the least expensive method. The downside of self-administered surveys is that patients sometimes do not finish the surveys and that some disease states make it difficult for patients to self-administer (e.g., glaucoma, rheumatoid arthritis, and Parkinson s disease). 

What is useful to bear in mind is that very few people are willing to assume leadership in the sense of being prepared to assume risks and assume responsibility. Many of course desire the fruits of leadership but only a tiny proportion of people are willing to expose themselves to the risk of failure. An even smaller proportion truly wish to have responsibility. The hard truth is that the vast majority, notwithstanding their almost universal desire for recognition and the fruits of success, are not chosen, or they hang back, because they are not well-equipped for leadership. ... 

The deflationist would find some points objectionable, but the account can be easily adapted to her needs. The first point is that Step 2 accepts a substantial notion of truth for certain sentences. But this step may be reformulated in this way take the justification conditions of the reference-fixing sentences . In this way the notion of truth can be kept as a thin notion. The second point is that in the disquotation formulae of Step 3 the notion of truth shows up in the parentheses, so truth seems to play an explanatory role in the fixation of reference. A deflationist would refuse that truth can explain anything. Notice, however, that the disquotation formulae do their job even if the parentheses, in which truth is mentioned, are cut off. So the machinery works even if one does not accept a verificationist conception of truth for these sentences and refuses to attribute any role to truth in the determination of reference. If you wish, the internal realist has a choice to be deflationist about truth. Naturally, this does not mean that after these changes the deflationists will automatically subscribe to the present account. They may reject the idea of reference-fixing sentences, or they may reject that for these sentences truth coincides with justification, or they may favor an account of our linguistic ability that does not mention justification at all. 

We have lost sight of these truths in America and have become all too willing to hand over our so-called problem children to experts with credentials that permit them to recommend or prescribe drugs. Our problem children reflect our problems as adults in each and every case, it is up... 

Similarly the instruments of chemistry must be simple, so that their changing power is easy to understand and apply. In short, Boerhaave s rules make experiments repeatable. The results of Boerhaave s chemistry will approach truth, for if an experiment has the same result at all times it must be true. It follows that the chemist can form a judgement based on a thorough knowledge of particulars. Boerhaave argued ... 

In simple, honest will to understand The sacred codex, and its truth translate In the loved accents of my native land. 

Now parents are encouraged by the counselor to say "There will be times when we will make demands for you to do what you don t want to do, and we expect you to comply. There will be times when we will set limits on your freedom that prevent you from doing what you want, and we expect you to obey. There will be times when we will ask questions that you would rather ignore, and we expect you to truthfully andfully answer. There will be times when we will confront you on issues that you would rather avoid, and we expect you to be willing to discuss them. There will be times when we will let you take your consequences., and we expect you to take full responsibility for the bad choices that you have made."... 

Now the occultist has divided matter, seen and unseen, into seven principles or planes, and of these the fifth principle, or Quintessence, corresponds to Science s Ether of Space. If we are willing to admit that there is truth in this statement, then we may begin to see that alchemy is based on absolute Law. All the forces of our scientists have originated in the Vital Principle, that one Collective Life of our Solar System, which life is a part of, or rather one of the aspects of, the One Universal Life. 

I have never doubted that it is a hoiy zeai for the truth that guides your critical pen but on the other hand I regret that you do not seem to concede any possibility of your own fallibility, which everyone must grant.. .. I know that I can err, but I also know that I have no cause to allow myself to be struck from the ranks of exact scientists, for I as well as you have the will to serve the truth. 

Many people believe that a suntan makes one look healthy and attractive. Studies, however, indicate that this perception is far from the truth. According to these studies, sunbathing, especially when sunburn results, ages the skin prematurely and increases the risk of skin cancer. Cosmetic companies have developed a tanning alternative for those not willing to risk using the sun but who want to be fashionably tan. 

It is also important to be accessible to patients to be willing to address their concerns before and after their UFE procedure. This requires a commitment on the part of an interventional radiology service because these patients do ask questions and do make demands on staff. There is no doubt that nursing staff dedicated to providing this type of care to these patients is critical for success. We have always tried to anticipate the needs and concerns of our patients and make it a rule to proactively call patients individually at defined times during the recovery period in order that they know we are there for them. In addition, a willingness on our part to address concerns via e-mail added a level of convenience not experienced by most patients and, in truth, is easier for us since focused answers to questions can be provided in very little time. When this part of our service runs smoothly, patients are almost uniformly impressed and very satisfied, which often leads to positive feedback to their gynecologist, family, and friends (all potential sources of future referrals).
