In my post on tribes and operating systems I speak of finding facts/truth but that tribes with their particular agenda's can inhibit the truth to their tribes truth. I got to a point that the following quote sparked a brain jump, "So, you are out there trying to find the truth, all you are going to get is one side (tribe) or the other (another opposing tribe). You are never told the full story. One side tells you to never look into the dark, and the other tells you to never look into the light."
Lets look at history, it is always told from only one tribes side or point of view. The loser is the loser. The tribe who won tells you their side of the truth and that will be colored and cleaned out so only the truth they wish is expressed. So, when we study history are we truly hearing the entire story.
In the world of the martial arts we have tribes who promote their version of the system. Even in the same system, name only, there are varying degrees and views of what is considered the "truth."
How do you find truth? You just have to remain open and, from my belief, disassociated from any one tribe and its rules, operating system, etc. and data mine what is perceived by you as truth and/or historical significance (notice I didn't say truth; it is after all very subjective).
