Perhaps the notion itself is untenable, for in order for it to be true that we live in a post truth world, truth is required. I suspect that that is a...
Seems the earlier charge of folk not knowing what truth is and the role that it plays in all thought/belief and statements thereof has just played out...
There used to be a time when more (secular)folk had a clue what counts as evidence, what counts as being justified, and what counts as being sufficien...
An order doesn't necessarily require the speaker to have well grounded belief about the order... It could be the case that the boss hasn't even consid...
The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media... Indeed. That which matters...
I would concur. So, "Jerry is under the box" qualifies as a belief, a sentence, a statement, Tom's belief, and the content of our and Tom's belief. Th...
We can certainly learn something about a person by virtue of paying attention to whether or not they follow the same standards that they expect others...
To summarize my own thoughts on the matter of 'post-truth'... I can make sense of it in but one way. If a "post-truth world" means to denote American ...
So, regarding the media talking heads' use of the term 'post-truth', I struggle to make sense of it. Some who've argued 'against' my writing here have...
So, I guess I'm struggling to set aside my original thoughts on the recent post-truth talk in American media. I mean, my original post here... note th...
I'd also like to note that I cannot meet Sands' standard regarding what counts as evidence if s/he doesn't clearly set that out. It's not worth wastin...
I'd like to note that Sand has denied that the rise of American pragmatism and American post-modernism has had an overarching influence upon public di...
What - exactly - could I provide to you Sand that would count as evidence, and perhaps more importantly; by what standard would you measure that which...
I'm asking you a simple question Sand. What - exactly - would you accept as evidence that what I said was part of an American public school curriculum...
The overwhelming majority of Americans attend public school systems. If they are taught, and think in the aforementioned terms, they will work from a ...
Yeah, I think that the secular aspect of American society argued strongly against 'T'ruth, in the religious 'objective' sense and replaced it with 'tr...
Here's something else to consider... While I'm doing my normal thing - granting another's terms - and trying to make sense of an others' worldview, I ...
It's not that bad actors shouldn't be expected Mongrel. It's that when enough members of the society do not understand what truth is and how it works,...
When one writes the rules that govern their own behaviour, without oversight, there can be no balance of power. Much like some hereabout show themselv...
So Cava, what sense does it make to just sit back and allow the legitimate bribery of American government? I mean, what sense does it make to just sit...
So... Sand refuses to talk about what someone else means by "post-truth". AND... He has more than one method for doing so. One cannot assess another's...
So... pragmatism came along and fooled enough people into thinking of truth as man-made, subjective, and what-not that the sheer size of the populatio...
There are obviously two different senses of the term "post-truth" at work here. Sand's and mine. I'm neither denying nor affirming the coherency of Sa...
It's always easiest to criticize another's position when one begins with misunderstanding, and then refuses to admit that much. Sigh... I've shown eno...
