RE: Are there absolutes? Are you absolutely sure?

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

Your flowchart is a work of art.

The answer is simply, there are a very few absolute truths, but those truths are technically and emotionally meaningless.

REAL-TRUE-FACTS must be Quantifiable, rigorously defined, scientifically verifiable phenomena, and or LOGICALLY NECESSARY (like NOUMENON).

Everything else is indistinguishable from opinion (unfalsifiable Qualia).

The tricky thing to keep in mind is that only Qualia is emotionally meaningful.

So, it's IMPORTANT! Qualitative opinion is extremely important.

You just have to remember that what you think is important isn't necessarily what everyone else thinks is important.

(1) PROTECT YOURSELF
(2) PROTECT YOUR FAMILY
(3) PROTECT YOUR TERRITORY

Those are three vital priorities. Oh, noumenon is an interesting word indeed.

If there is no absolute truth, than the fact that there is none is the first contradiction of the premise. So there must be at least one. Why not more?!

btw: I like how you phrase (3) land with "territory" and make it relative to one individual. I knew we would come back to it very soon! !invest_vote !BEER

I love how often people authoritatively declare "there is no answer" (which is an appeal to ignorance).

Thanks for your thoughtful replies.

I get a thrill when I see a clumsy logical fallacy.

It's kind of like watching a movie and spotting the boom-mic at the top of the frame or watching a poorly skilled stage magician (WTF!).
