The question is how one is supposed to judge his "orange" against other available oranges. How does he or she know that their chosen orange is the best choice? To go along with the metaphor, how does one "taste" the other selections, and upon what criteria are they scrutinized? To me, it appears that the selection process is fairly arbitrary, as there is no objective basis for comparison on what makes a good orange. Those oranges that you've grown up with and are accustomed to has a large impact on your decision, for you will be more prone to accept oranges that are similar to the oranges you were raised with. Simularity, however, has no connection with "truth," and so while your chosen orange may be the "best" orange through use of this process, it also has the same chance of being the worst. Quite a conundrum, methinks.
So anyways, my question is this: How do you know that your "orange" is the best one out there?
Hah...all this orange talk is making me hungry for some. : )
