#Truth #Relativism and its Ties to #ConspiracyTheory Beliefs: Results revealed that those believing truth to be subjective were more inclined towards conspiracy beliefs and resisting contradictory facts. This subjective truth approach paradoxically tied with dogmatism.

Some subjectivists and relativists need not agree to these statements from "measures" of subjectivism and relativism, raising questions about face validity. Can psychologists chat with philosophers before making scales like these?
#Subjectivism:
The truth does not exist
All subjective perceptions of a chain of events are equally true
#Relativism:
It is impossible to compare different cultures beliefs about reality in terms of "correctness"

#Relativism is a betrayal of reason and of humanity

If everyone of us has became the kindest person on earth, would it raise the moral bar so high that everyone is imminently a twat?
Let us remember our towns' industrial zones, those slaughterhouses of meaning, crystalized screams of nihilistic despair, palpable anguishes.

How the counterculture surrendered communal well-being…
medium.com@SusanHR @PaulSpicker @matthewfacciani @sociology @psychology @openscience it is. The same sort of analysis can be applied to climate change science and COVID. First, draw out the links from various positions to interests. The trick is to avoid the abyss of #relativism

@sean@blacksun.socialGaddammit, it happened again.
Someone posted this damn #optical #illusion ("The circle has no yellow in it, yo?")
The first image has been circulating for awhile. It's an example of the Munker-White's illusion, or the Bezold effect, and it's well understood.
I made this tryptych image back in 2020, to demonstrate what's going on. I do kind of know what I'm talking about here, since I was a TV/Film #colorist for many years.
The second panel is the first panel blurred. You can clearly see that the "yellow" circle is grey.
But, the third panel demonstrates that when you remove the color cast from the entire image, the circle becomes yellow. (In the first image, your brain perceives it as "yellow-er" than the blue background).
This is what your brain is doing all the time, as you move through different lighting conditions which is how you can still tell someone is wearing a green shirt, in a room with only red lights, so long as there are other colors in the room to compare it to.
When I tried to explain relative color perception to this person, the whole thread devolved into one of the dumbest conversations I've ever had about absolute vs. relative truth, statistics sample size, and how we can "never be really sure of anything," including when we measure temperature with a thermometer.
GAAAHHHHH!
New Rule: Optical illusions, outside of a *strict scientific context* having to do with understanding #cognition and the brain's visual system are a Trojan Fucking Horse for #nonsense
People, please stop using optical illusions, to push #solipsism and #relativism

Do they put something in the water in American universities?
How is it possible that such a large percentage of young ppl has been brainwashed to believe in the dumbest of ideas?
You can be whatever you believe u are (a man can be a Chinese woman!)
