There Can only be One

Goodman emphasized in his article how we build up the world by our perceptions and what we feel is meaningful. One way to showcase this is by looking at the "there can only be one" advertising that the NBA used last year. For example look at the following and answer who is the one.
Quickly Matt McGuire will say Garnett. Why? because the Celtics won the championship, and in the system of the NBA there is only one champion. Goodman will say that Mcguire would weigh and order his information relating to the picture and be able to choose one. Goodman would also say that Mcguire is right. Mcguire is right because both sides accept that the championship decides the victor, and prior to the game they may have a dichotomy since both players thinks they will be the champion, but after the conclusion is not contested. Now look at the examples below:

Each Person may be able to come up with different results. All of these pictures give us so much information but when we answer the questions of who is the "one" we use different systems to answer the question. The TV world, Sports World, and Political world show how we make these systems of measurements that are relative to what we are measuring. For all of these (before elections) according to Goodman, their would be no Truth, for now based on different systems each one could be the one since each half has its own precepts for why they are the "true one". Bryant thinks that the best player is the one who takes his team to more championships, Jordan thinks it is about career points. Both can be correct but since their is differing precepts not believed by the other, their can be no true result. However Goodman states that we cannot just reduce to believe only what is true because it would be to little, but we cannot believe everything because that would be too vast.

The Last example that I wish to show is one example in which such a poster cannot frame. While the NBA finals were going on avid NBA fan Matt fit in his puzzle of knowledge as a placeholder a piece that said either Celtics or lakers will be the NBA champions. Since their was no answer yet, he could not accept it at fact just a theory. In the same way we notice that when people have inconclusive evidence and two theories they adapt one as a placeholder and until further exploration. The world is flat or round? at one time their was a debate but now it is widely excepted by scientific verification what the answer is, and now we all know what is true. In a current context we can look at global warming. If you look at fox news they bring on two guests when talking about global warming; one for and one against. This establishes that their is a difference, and that two scientists can reach differ ant results. This is what I consider a false dichotomy. Since both rely on scientific verification as their reasoning only one can be right. Some of these "scientists" are payed by Exxon Mobil or large corporations and are even payed to be perverse to Global Warming, in 1987 when Global warming was first released in a scientific study as being true, the U.S. government censored much of the terminology that made global warming a concrete stolid occurrence that is a problem. In conclusion the goal was to create a debate, because when their is a debate that means their is no accepted truth.
