Jay Manifold, truth has no fundamental relation to “differing” individuals or the “participation” of many “different” individuals. Truth is truth regardless of what an individual(s) may wish it or claim it to be. Opinion cannot measure fact, only the objective observation of reality qua reason. “Difference” is not a primary factor in discerning truth from untruth. At best, all difference can do is distinguish one concept from another via conceptual abstraction between two entities. You are also incorrect of your smear of Ayn Rand.
