i think it is stupid
unless you mean
competence is truth *in* action
Discussion
Yes, that was what I meant 😬😅🤣
hmmm
well truth in action *could* be clumsy
Competence has the concept of fitness; adequacy; suitableness, skilledness. I can try to tan leather using truths. But without practice and skill, I'm incompetent.
action isn't inherently good. sometimes the right thing to do is nothing. acting would be a sign of incompetence.
also can truth be in action? or do we act in light of truth?
Thank you for your thoughts, I like them.
What I was thinking was with the emphasis on Competence. If I do something, like you mention, without the skills, I'm not competent.
If I do something based on the lie that I can do something I've never done, it won't come across as competence.
So, when someone is competent, you can see the truth in their actions, (as you say) the fitness, adequacy, suitability, skilledness.
If that makes any sense?
Fiat lies and doesn't have competence, #bitcoin tells the truth, and is competent (does the thing it's supposed to do really well).
when someone is incompetent, you can also see the truth in their actions. The chair breaks, the paint flakes, the patient croaks.
Competence has nothing to do with truth. A person assessing competence must decide whether or not to tell the truth.
you'll need to convince me there's no difference between me trying to do something, and me lying about whether or not i can do it.
"if i do something based on the lie that i can do something i've never done" is self contradictory...🙃
fiat doesn't lie. fiat is a tool used by liars.
definitions matter
I was in a weird headspace when I was answering you last time.
Truth in action isn't flawed. It's truth. Truth is hard. Truth is eternal.
Competence isn't flawed, it's clear to someone who sees it, it's truth.
Competence is action. Someone can be competent but it is referring to an action.
Hence, competence is truth in action, and truth in action looks like competence.
Babe by your definitions here, incompetence is also truth in action. two opposites can't have the same definition, so by logic i think your take is way off.
i posit that
competence isn't action. and truth can't act.
humans act in light of truth (or not)
i'm sure hubby is a great truthful competent dude but let's not create a whole new universe to describe him lol
