| The Ghost of RubangB said: I'd say those who claim the truth. They were behind slavery, the inquisition, the great purge, and the holocaust. When you get people like Nietzsche telling everybody else they're wrong and to fuck off, you don't get millions of people following him and killing in his name. |
Haha good and you knew the philosopher I got this from haha. But yes there is a right answer to this and it is those who make truth claims. This stems from people ragging and tormenting people who question the truth. Why do people find it so atrocious when people question their religion or what they believe in. Why do people rant on things like conspiracy theory stories. These are not the things that will hurt anyone. Actually you should be glad they are being done because whether wrong or right they'll help you learn more about your beliefs and things in the world. Truthists are like philosophers. Maybe not in the same realm or level but this is what they do. The question the world and this is what we need. We need people to say I'm not going to take what you say at face value until I have solid proof.
Truth claimers on the other hand are the people in this world that cause terrible things to happen. These are people like Hitler who say they know what's best and you should follow that. These are the people that lead to some of the largest genocides in the world. And yet you sit here and defend them til death?
What Rubang was referring to is the ting called modernism, or more or less today, post-modernism. They want to dig up and deconstruct all the truth claims and expose them. This comes from their believing that everything in this world is perspective. And to a certain degree that's probably true. Point being never stop questioning who you are, what this world is, and what you believe in. Once you do that you allow yourself to subcumb to manipulation and corruption. You don't have to believe in what others say or what others try to derive when trying to break down truth claims. All you have to do is keep questioning yourself.
