Comment on just sayin'
Smokeydope@lemmy.world 1 year agoA person can hold a opinion or belief that is objectively wrong and no amount of schitzo subjective reality warping mental gymnastics changes objective reality. They may feel in the right but that’s different from actually being right.
Some people believe the world is flat with all their heart and might despite their cellular phone working with a satellite that could not orbit without a round earth. At some point a person of decent maturity and sanity realizes they hold an objectively wrong understanding of some aspects of the world when reality inevitably conflicts with their held beliefs.
A sound mind admits its fallibility in having occasionally shitty opinions and believing objectively wrong things, and makes an active effort to become more open minded. Only mental gymnast and mentally unwell people double down and go “well the earth being round is just like, your opinion man! I’m still in the right since you haven’t convinced me otherwise. You failed to alter my subjective view of reality! Fuck your evidence its just wrong!”
in matters of taste
I addressed this in the comment. If you don’t “like” something. That opinion can’t be wrong or right. You don’t like it, period. Others cannot dictate how one feels about a matter of taste. “This sucks” is an opinion in matter of taste that cannot, by definition, be invalidated by external objective means.

You guys are bringing philosophy into a Linux shitpost.
I just want you to be aware of that.

No corner of the internet is safe from overly intellectual jackasses like myself who like to disagree with other overly intellectual jackasses over the nature of truth and reality. I’m sure somewhere there’s a comment thread on a scat porn site debating the nature of what a fetish even is.
