The solution to postmodernism and relativism, explained in a series of tweets. See 🧵🧵🧵beginning below.
1. Since all tyrannies are based on dogmas, that is, on fundamental statements of absolute fact, and since all dogmas are based on lies, it behooves us first to seek for truth, and freedom will not be far away. And the truth is ... that we know nothing.
2. Objectively speaking, we know nothing at all. Any system of intellectual thought--whether it be science, logic, religion, or philosophy--is based on certain fundamental ideas or axioms which are assumed, but which cannot be
proved. This is the grave of all positivism.
3. We assume, but we do not KNOW (objectively speaking), that there is a real and objective world outside our own minds. Ultimately, we do not know what we are, or what
the world is.
4. Further, if there is a real world apart from ourselves, we
cannot know what that is; all we can know is what we perceive and theorize it to be.
