i think naturalism is still the best way to go. of course we entertain ideas otherwise, but they have to ultimately stand up to testing before we accept them to be more than that.
i like it. but one question. why does the bubble of fact shift and change. i understand how everything else can, but if it is truly fact it doesn't change like your bubble chart indicates.
That is why there is a shape of reality AND a shape of fact. I guess its a mismatch of word definitions, but facts should be falsifiable and disprovable, and the idea was to suggest that what is considered fact depends on the times and society. Consider a theory (by scientific definition) as equivalent to a fact. However, for a time, God was considered a fact.
I suppose a better way to interpret the chart is that there is a smooth transition between a theory and a mere idea, in that the validity is measurable, rather than a boolean (true or false).
