How do humans create truth?

By agreement, that's how. The same way knowledge is shared. One of my friends thinks that there's actually no such thing as truth, because it's essentially reduced to an individual's perceptual reality. And we all know that it's impossible to directly transfer or even just consistently map perceptual phenomena from one organism to another. She's pretty awesome for thinking like this. I wish more people questioned truth.

This isn't necessary a proposition in favor of solipsism, as much as it is a proposition in favor of analogy.
