1. obvious truths
2. common sense truths
3. Truths that can be inferred from reality and correlated to reality
to ascertain their validity.
4. Well known truths
5. Require very little scientific truth although they can be validated
by science.

1 Self evident truth 1: I exist: You exist.
1.1 The greatest yet simplest self evident truth of all is that I
exist and that you exist.
1.2 It needs no further ideological permutation to be validated. You
are there, I am here therefore we all exist.
1.3 The simplest in that all humanity can attest to its veracity
with little mental cogitation.
1.4 To question its validity is a self evident truth of the tell-
tell signs of some form of dissonance.
1.5 The greatest in that its implications are the most profound for
it goes on to question the origin and reason of our existence

NOT "Everything has form", the aether, ZPE field or E.M. or chaos has no form, Therefore your call
for "practical philosophy equals materialistic philosophy.

I also don't go for such silly nonsense as beliefs, especially when peddled by others. And just
because you call it nonsense, etc, does not necessaily make it so. It's only a declaration of your
beliefs or assumptions, in which case "self-evident truth" is as declared by self acclaimed
authority. as to "you exist"? in which sense do you mean? I mean a rock exists, so what? Although
geology only considers rocks as between phases of change, geologically speaking. NOR can you prove
that everything has form, Does plasma have a form? How stable is the existence of a candle flame,
or, for that matter an egg yolk?

2 has to be utterly dependant on the perceptual qualities of those
mentioned in 1, without which 2 is invalid.

This is false. Many things useful to 1 and perceived within the narrow
context of 2 may have function , but this is not a necessary and
certainly not self evident truth.

one thing AND another is not a truth.

This does not make much sense

chaos as you call it or the ZPE field at a certain moment in time has
form.
