The ontological concept of truth is in the centre of a logic

Summary

This quote suggests that truth, in an ontological sense, is a foundational concept in logic and serves as a model for pre-technological rational thinking. It emphasizes that this kind of rationality exists in a two-dimensional universe of discourse, contrasting with the thought patterns and behaviors that arise during the pursuit of technological advancements. In other words, it highlights the distinction between the timeless pursuit of truth and understanding, and the fast-paced progress and practicality of technology-driven pursuits.
