I see a significant presence of postmodernism in discussions with relatives and friends:
- But they have their own arguments, you can't argue with them!
- They are wrong, objectively
- But there's no objective truth!
- Let's say he's racing at 160 km/h across the town and hits a building, he's dead, objectively
- But what if he doesn't care?
- If he doesn't care, he's still objectively dead
@kravietz sounds to me like your friends just don't want to be wrong and can't take a stance and argue it 😅
@Wetrix I believe that's more of an unwillingness to engage in disputes in general, as disagreement generally may have a personal touch, if you consider it personal. The idea that "let everyone have their own truth" is a kind of defensive mechanism here.
