Truths and True North

What is helpful and what is true don't match.
Ideas we work by are helpful but are not necessarily true.
Of all the ideas described by nature in her behaviour there are no falsehoods.
Of all the ideas described by man there is no greater truth than circular truth. e.g. 1=1
The value of circular truth exists in our faith in its replicability
Hence me calling this a religion and not a philosophy
But there I go buying into norms and cleaving meta into useful chunks
