If everybody has their own truth, it causes conflict when the plurality of truth comes into contact.
When each person recognises emotion as the measure of truth, this conflict escalates into violence.
When violence erupts, truth is diagnosed as the cause and made taboo.
Subjectivity is the root.
@memcculloch In a reasonable world yes.
When you don't even believe in chess, who cares about checkmate? Probability theory subjectivism has done that to physics (chess = truth).
@CriticalAI Precisely and fairly stated. We can be pals.
Regarding human free will, until the courts decide that humans do not have free will (and are thereby not accountable for their actions), we remain in a default state of free will being accepted. Unless you live in California.
@PhysInHistory Free speech is predicated upon free will. Tell that to LaPlace and his demon. Tell it to Kolmogorov and his axioms. Tell it to Schrödinger and his cat.
@MrGoldBro Of course he's right. Do you think we can let go of objective truth, embrace subjectivity, and not end up with the multiverse?
Do you want to measure GDP in the multiverse?
Probability theory holds that there is no individual outside the distribution.
The People = The State = The Distribution.
Kolmogorov formalised collectivism and generalised it by recognising subjectivism (sampling) as a pre-requisite.
Ergo, you need subjectivism to have collectivism. And here we are at woke.
