Subjectivism, “Good”: Greatest Enemies Of TRUTH
(Apollonian, 4 Jan 14)
Mike: u do a good job arguing, and esp. for ur refutation of subjectivism, BUT u still don’t grasp the problem sufficiently, I submit, so allow an Aristotelian to weigh in here.
The question and issue regards FACT(S)–what would they, could they be?–note then a “fact” could only exist in an OBJECTIVE reality. But then objectivity is an assumption.
As Aristotle pt’d out, all logic and reasoning begin w. assumptions, and the two most basic come down to whether everything is just all in our heads (subjectivism and Plato) or whether there’s actually an objective reality “out there,” as David Duchovny always liked to say in the old “X-Files.”
Hence then the only useful thing to do is to assume the objective (Aristotelian) reality. Subjectivism is equally valid assumption, but not very useful–to extent “useful” has any real meaning. But wait–there’s more–for subjectivism is devilish foundation for moralism/Pharisaism, foundation of fascism and satanism.
Problem then is determinism or “free” will which is important for moralists and Pharisees. For note perfectly “free” will is subjectivist–BUT very useful for the Pharisees who LOVE to intimidate folks w. idea of “moral virtue” and “good-evil” fallacies/delusions.
Note Christ was (practically) an Aristotelian who insisted upon TRUTH TRUTH TRUTH (see Gosp. JOHN, 14:6, 8:32, and 18:37-8) above all/any other precepts, including “good,” “faith,” “peace,” or “love.”
And the most popular, practical way of overthrowing TRUTH is by means of pretended “good” which “good” couldn’t exist in an objective, determined universe. Thus note Christ died for our sins which relieves us of any necessity for feeling guilt–perhaps one of Christ’s greatest gifts, eh?
Observe then in practical reality, all the lies and frauds of socialism, dictatorship, the welfare state, and central-banking (legalized COUNTERFEITING) are ALWAYS justified by “good.” So there’s heavy, huge, and pre-dominant interest in pushing and selling subjectivism, Platonism, and Kantianism–esp. in way of “good” which is always sooooooooooooooo attractive for the weak-minded and children.
