Which theory of truth do you lean toward?
Meta-survey: how does this community think about the consensus box at the top of every topic?
1. Which theory of truth best matches how you judge a consensus truth?
Correspondence — it matches how the world actually is
Coherence — it fits best with everything else we accept
Pragmatism — it works when acted upon
Deflationary — "true" adds nothing to the claim itself
2. Can a community vote settle what is true?
Yes — consensus is the best proxy we have
No — votes measure popularity, not truth
Only for meanings of words, not for facts
