I read a post in the Chat section, where a guild member states to the guild and all its members: "All you search for is the Truth."
How do you define truth to begin with?

How can someone define between what is fact and fiction?

Truth is probably so hard to define because we've been led so far from it.

I'm a truth agnostic. I don't believe in the existence of truth. Nor do I disbelieve. Whether it exists or not, I'm certainly not going to try to define something I've never seen.

There isn't exactly truth. Mostly because TRUTH comes from if you can believe from the word of mouth. It doesn't have rules like math or tons of evidence like science can have. It can be much more complicated than that.
The guild members from what I see just try to spend their time to looking for the truth. However, all we really have is each other and the internet. It just depends on how much you can trust both those resources.

As a fallibilist and a pragmatist, I'm not sure there's such a thing as an absolute Truth and I'm not sure it matters. I think at best we've got varying degrees of correctness.

Whether it exists or not, I'm certainly not going to try to define something I've never seen. i found truth... in a cave... well... the fabled fork of truth. don't know if the fork of truth counts though...

Not sure if you can define 'truth' since truth is mere facts of a greater spectrum. You can say that you've found out the facts and call them the truth. But there's a bigger picture and what we've been told to believe isn't full fact.
We can prove or disprove facts. but do we really know for sure how the universe works? If we did we could possibly call the facts truths but we hardly know anything of the universe except facts. ( and even then those facts are small comparable to the wide spectrum of it all).
I guess... the truth is is that we don't really know everything.
We could be living in a holographic universe for all we know, after all. And to call out facts and use the definition of the word 'truth' as the truth... would have to be reworked.
Atleast that's in my opinion...
