1. There is never just one problem; there are always many that are never neatly tied together.
2. A single problem can never be identified or reduced into full clarity as what that problem is and what exactly constitutes and contributes to that problem can never be fully discerned or agreed on.

1. There is never just one problem; there are always many that are never neatly tied together.
This presupposes knowledge of all the problems. We do not have that. What we do have is a list of all the things that we think/believe are a problem.
I say that we start there.
2. A single problem can never be identified or reduced into full clarity as what that problem is and what exactly constitutes and contributes to that problem can never be fully discerned or agreed on.
If this is true then it is false. If this is false then this is true.
The liar all over again.

There does seem to be some strange compulsive schoolyard insult syndrome going on: "You're a troll and an idiot", "No, you're the only troll and idiot", "No, you are..." and so on.

That sort of thing.
Can a post-truth society last?

Can a post-truth society last?
Or join me, in arguing that the very notion of a post-truth society is incoherent.
Creative is setting the problems within the current society that is being called "post-truth", and he doesn't care what you call it...
I'm not impressed with your para-consistency.
I have no reason whatsoever to think/believe that you're speaking sincerely Sand and every reason to conclude otherwise.
I've no further interest in addressing you
Dear god dude. Your inability to interface charitably with literally anyone on this forum who you, to just one tiny degree, disagree with, in one tiny possible way, is absolutely disgusting. I literally can't comprehend how this is possible, other than the possibility that you're just willingly trolling us all on purpose to prove some kind of point, in a theatrical way. The fact that you just insulted Wayfarer after he offers a word of wisdom, take it or leave it...is just too much. You don't even realize the depth of the wealth of wisdom that you just absconded; a wealth of wisdom that you, like anyone else here, could have benefited from so profoundly.

Treating others poorly makes some folk feel good about themselves.
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
