What if your/their truth conflicts with mine? Or facts? Or science?
Do people use My Truth to give lend some extra credence to their opinions, beliefs, experiences or views of reality? If they are how does it come close to truth, especially in light of objective vs subjective truth. truth objective.
Maybe My Truth is the other side of the Fake News coin.
(about time I got off my ass and made a thread)
There certainly is a claim of "different points of view". And even between scientists there are always competing ways to solve a problem. But there is are always a difference between facts and opinions. It was never true that the earth was flat. It was never true that the earth was made in 6 days. The ability to change with changing data is the key to fact finding.
It isn't a matter of squashing dissent of opinion, but more a matter of more people valuing the concept of going where the evidence leads, and not where they want it to go to prop up personal bias.
