“The truth” is subjective, there are so many ways we lie to ourselves causing confirmation bias.
We get in our own way.
Only people who work to seek the truth have a shot at finding it. Learning and then intentionally reflecting more objectively gets us closer to pure truth.
I’m not sure I agree with that either. (Sorry you’re totally speaking my language here). Truth is truth. Water is wet. Fire burns. Wind blows. There is a physical reality that we can not deny.
We CAN think that truth is subjective and therefore delude ourselves into thinking a whole bunch of nonsense, but only because we are imposing OUR ideas upon something external. This is complicated by the fact that things are also ‘empty’.
Looking at a chair. There IS an object there in physical space. That exists. But ‘chair’ is just an idea, yes that part is subjective. But there is a constant in reality that is objective and does not bend to our will.
I think.
Truth is not subjective. Jesus was here and was who he said he was. If you start to look onto it like I did, it becomes plain that it takes more faith to be a non-believer than it does to accept Christ as your savior.
An interesting new study found that people actually become more susceptible to cognitive biases the more familiar they are with them.
