So you have discovered that an example of an Objective Truth is a tautology. So what? You could have just said that and saved yourself an hour of video editing, and saved me 10 mins of my time. en (dot) wikipedia (dot) org/wiki/Tautology_%28logic%29

If we perceive liquid nitrogen to be water we will be in for a rude awakening when we slip into that bathtub. Who's on first then Deep Purple.

Wow do my ears deceive me or are you asking for words to defined precisely with common definitions? For example the word purpose;-)

Put in other words, the mind sees the world, and discovers truth, through a lense of brain matter. Crude nature and arbitrary conditioning create distortions (rose coloring for example) in that lense... it is my argument that we can apply intelligence (wisdom) to correct for those distortions and define truth purely.
with your assertion that water is wet as truth, i can ask if the existence of water is true... if you cant prove that water actually exists then you can not prove it is wet. what if your brain is actually in a jar somewhere and being stimulated with electrodes creating the illusion of an artificial substance that we, in your delusional mind, call water?

If water is an illusion the word water still intends to describe it. In other words the word was invented to describe what we perceive to be water (I suppose technically the water doesn't have to really be real water, just anything we perceive to be water) wetness would also be technically defined as any perception of water like wetness regardless of actual witnesses. By the way... "Who's on First"
