RE: There Are No Absolute Truths (Part 2)

in #philosophy7 years ago

I watch a ball roll across the floor, hit the wall and bounce back. I conclude that the momentum of ball moving across the floor is energy, stored in the flex of the balls exterior as it hits the wall, that the ball's exterior rebounds against its deformation, using the stored energy to bounce the ball back away from the wall. Someone else disagrees and says the ball and the wall is alive, and ball doesn't want to trespass on the walls space, so it contorts its being and wills itself away from the wall. Another says that there is no ball, it is a shared delusion communicated to our brains by the government in a test to determine which genetic line will mostly likely be compliant in order to choose those who will be saved in the coming apocalypse. One could be true, none could be true, maybe all three partially true. Who knows. But what is true is that three individuals at least experienced something. Observed something. In that moment or series of moments, what every a moment happens to represent, an experience was had. Something happened. Even if it is one's, or the collective's construct of their own making at an unconscious level, something was experienced, observed. There is a truth to what was experienced. A lack of understanding, knowledge, perception, want or language does not negate that something was experienced.

Definitely not, hence the subjectiveness. This is why the post should be better titled "There are no absolutes".
