TRANSCRIPT:
Question: Is there an absolute truth?
Adam Bly: No. I don’t . . . That doesn’t . . . That’s not an idea that resonates with me. There may be. There may not be, but it’s not an idea that I feel comfortable with. I like the idea of an __________ total relationship with truth, something that we get very, very, very, very, very, very, very close to. I don’t know what capital “T” is, and I’m kind of not . . . That idea doesn’t sit well with me.
