ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Veridicality

Veridicality means telling the truth or being genuine. It's like when you say something and someone asks if you're telling the truth, and you can say "Yes, what I said is veridical." It's important to be veridical because it helps people trust you and believe what you say. It's like being a good friend and never telling lies. Veridicality also means that something is true or accurate, like when you learn about things in school and you want to get the right answers on a test. When you know what's veridical, you can be confident in what you say and trust that what you're learning is true.
