because it is not an interpretation to say that the aforementioned countries are not in the Bible. It is, instead just a brute fact. And that brute fact, by itself, refutes Nietzsche's aforementioned famous phrase. — Arcane Sandwich

But, by fact do you mean Truth? Because I think that's up to interpretation. And, if fact and Truth are not the same, what is the difference? Does Truth even deal in difference?

Arcane Sandwich was banned.

sorry to hear that. Thank you

That's not what a brute fact means in philosophy. A brute fact isn't just "a fact we can confirm". A brute fact is a fact you can't explain with deeper more fundamental facts.

We can explain why the bible doesn't mention those places. Simply, the civilizations that produced the bible didn't know about them.

One can still interpret that his/her country somehow appears in the Bible. — Zebeden

"Confabulate" would be a better term.

He was unfortunately banned.

Dang, didn't think mistaking what a brute fact was is ban worthy.

It would be better to say that a brute fact does not have any further explanation.

it's not just that the explanation is not available to us, but that things just are that way.

Don't worry - there was more involved in banning Sandwich. You are safe.

i was merely jesting. what was the reason?

It is a fact that the United States of America is not in the Bible. — Arcane Sandwich

Whether there is a turtle riding a horse in the clouds in the sky depends upon what your purpose is for cloud gazing. Are you looking for inspiration or are you trying to figure out if it's going to rain? I would think if the former, you wouldn't ask a meteorologist what's in the clouds, nor do I think you would be confused as to the different ways clouds might be interpreted.

One could believe the clouds hold inspiration and precipitation simultaneously without being troubled by the fact that they hold those two things in very different ways.
