| Re: Confucius
Aedes, a tradition becomes one, in my book, by being independently confirmed in different peoples' opinions. When I believe I have found some truth and you can confirm that independently (as per by my self-criticism, reflection and reconsideration), then that truth becomes laden with more truth-value, so that I (and you) can more easily believe it and more rapidly apply it in proper circumstances. These circumstances will tend to become a tradition.
