# The Rejection of Today's Objective Truth By:: [[Brian Heath]] 2024-09-16 What if the acceptance of objective truth is the barrier to progress? Typically, people take the dark side when considering what if nothing is objectively true. They think that if nothing is true, there is no point or meaning. They give up. But, this argument is highly skewed by those who believe that there is an objective truth; otherwise, why should those who really reject it consider lack of it a lack of meaning? Many get so caught up in the paradigms of the day that they fail to see how even their attempts at rejecting it are tied to it. The odd thing is that much of the basis of science and the Enlightenment era is informed by statistics, which largely embraces the challenges of objective truth's existence. On a continuous probability curve, the probability of a particular number occurring is zero. How can there be an objective truth under such conditions where a number we can all point to has a zero probability of occurring while existing on the line of possible outcomes? Yet, many do not concern themselves with this oddity. We continue forward as if objective truth exists in the manner science pursues. If one breaks away from this, one stops arguing about certain things. It's not that facts do not exist; they exist on an endless line of possible outcomes with no objective truth to be found. One can see this fact and that fact as elements of consideration and argument, but one does not fixate on proofs. One fixates on progress through the fog as humanity has always done. Do not be tricked by the paradigms of the day and forget how many others are useful. #### Related Items [[Truth]] [[Science]] [[Progress]] [[Paradigms]] [[Thinking]] [[Facts]] [[Enlightenment]] [[Nihilism]]
