Subjective Issues

RE: Subjective Issues
(September 25, 2017 at 8:23 am)Adventurer Wrote: I am unable to make universally true statements so can anyone please suggest foundational resources to help me develop logical reasoning, argumentative, creative and critical thinking skills? I want to be able to make the first 100 universally true statements or write at least 10 universally significant theses before I will turn 30 next year.

In my opinion, truth-in-context statements are necessarily universally true.

Let's say, for example, that I say that in the context of quantum mechanics, photons exist in a state of superposition, and are resolved upon observation.

This, if true, is universally true for all instances of that context, by definition: wherever there is quantum physics, certain things will be true-- across all conceivable dimensions or universes.  Because if it isn't true in any context, it's just not quantum physics.
