RE: There Are No Absolute Truths (Part 2)

in #philosophy7 years ago

Well, there can't be only one reality since every person and species perceives the world differently. e.g you experience "reality" through the visible spectrum..which is vastly limited.
other species, e.g cat, can see beyond that and thus their truths are different

Truth is that we don’t know the most of the universe’s truths. Truth is that I love beer. Shall I continue?

nuh, get back to logic 101.

Sort:  

"Visible Light" based on our perspective :)

This is false. Of course every specie perceive reality differently. That does not multiply the reality though. Through different perception you get to reveal different truths about universe. The light argument is a huge misstep in argumentation you have made. Because of physics we know how light works (at least we know a lot about it). If cats see more they don’t have different truths than we do. We were able to capture the radio waves that we weren’t able to perceive with our perception. Then when we get to know how perception of different specie work we can understand how they perceive reality. The truth though is still the same – radio waves send information X via spectrum Y.

There are falsifiable experiments showing that if one observes reality then it changes. Please think your next response carefully.

I am very aware of quantum physics. Are you trying to justify your theory by stating another truth along the way? My personal opinion is that you are not as open-minded as you think...but you could say the same to me so I think we should end this conversation because it leads nowhere. Oh and you never countered my absolute truth that I love beer, nor that gravity exists...

Nop. What I am trying to say is that there is at least one relative truth that can constitute an absolute truth obsolete.

Oh and you never countered my absolute truth that I love beer,

You didn't love beer when you were 2 and it is not sure whether you will love it in the future

gravity exists...

or so you think.

what we call "gravity" might be the aftermath of other forces.

anything else?
