This is a high view of human reason that is open to the possibility of knowing truth. It is admirable in the nihilistic culture we live in. How much postmodernism have you studied?

Even more importantly, have you spent any time with Benedict XVI and the Regensburg address?

I wouldn’t say I “study” postmodernism, but I’m aware of it and how it shows up in the world. Haven’t heard the address.

Postmodernism has some interesting points of intersection with Catholic anthropology and epistemology. Specifically, on the question of bias, and whether it's possible to eliminate personal bias and even more fundamentally, whether it's even desirable to do so were it possible. The objectivity of reason can, perhaps even must, be united to the subjectivity of love in order to be fully open to the truth, which , in Christianity, is not a proposition but a Person.

The Regensburg address may be one of the most important pieces of Christian philosophy in the 21st century to date. It literally got people killed....

Believing you can know objective truth is the first point in my argument for why Bitcoiners should be Catholic.
