Objective Vs. Subjective Truth
I always thought people don’t really know anything, because their ideas about the world could always be proven wrong, unless you’ve met every idea in the Universe that could ever possibly be created. So impossible to prove something to be objectively true/ true because possible ideas are infinite.
Take science for an example, have you ever noticed that quite often it will change it’s mind, sometimes to the complete opposite of what it said. At school I was told to bounce on a stretch to stretch the muscles more, then later in life I went to athletics club and was told I should NEVER do that in a stretch because it could damage the muscle or something (I can’t quite remember). It made me feel like an idiot for listening to teachers in the first place!
There is one thing you can say about religion and that’s, at least it doesn’t ever change it’s mind. You could have a belief and ignore all evidence to the contrary, wouldn’t that be fun!
I would say, you got to work out what’s true for you, come up with your own beliefs, (above) and screw everyone else, including teachers and parents. I would listen to other people’s ideas in search of a contradiction, but can I do this forever? I don’t want to philosophise about life for the rest of my life! I want to live life! At some point maybe you’ve got to say, this is what I believe, and screw all evidence to the contrary. What else can you do??
