Absolute truth must exist, because if it doesn't, "there is no absolute truth" is absolutely true, which is a contradiction.
Kind of, right? You're making strong assumptions about the meanings of words. A lot of continental philosophy has been written about this subject.
Obviously truth is absolute. The question is whether morality is absolute or relative.
You should look into Godel's incompleteness theorem.
I first encountered it in Hofstadter's incredible book.
You arent the decider of what truth is though, especially for others.
You don't agree that there are universal truths? Like the earth is spherical, the sun provides us light, and lemmy.ml is full of tankies?
What is light to one is dark for another. Whats pain for one is gain for another. Everything is relative and through the lens of your own perspective, experience, and bias
I'll take that as a 'no'
Ill take yours as "I dont get it"
