RE: Debating Relativism and the Social Construction of Truth

in #truth7 years ago

Nicely done; I have dome some posting on Truth; objective vs subjective, the perception of, etc.

If I do an index of these posts, I'll include this one!

The other thing to note about the relativist is that Truth becomes "objective" for them really quickly when they are trying to jam a disastrous social poloicy down the public's throat

Thanks for your comment. Yes, mastery of the double standard takes a remarkably relativist perspective sometimes. The disastrous policies currently being advocating (and that are in place) are rationalized by any means necessary, if an objective truth happens to be convenient, it will be employed! How's that quote go, "Lie, damn lies, and statistics" ... ah, the bread and butter of public policy debates...
