IDEAS THAT MAKE THE WORLD WORSE

"In the 'post-modern' philosophies that have so affected our current culture, the most harmful fundamental idea is this: Because we don't know everything about something, we can't know anything about it, so any 'narrative' is just as valid as any other.

This is the idea that leads directly to so much muddled thinking, so much acceptance of ridiculous theorizing, and such a lack of moral clarity today.

This idea leads people to accept other ideas that are based on theory, wishful thinking, or ideology, rather than looking to confirm or disconfirm them through scientific study. If we can't really know anything anyway, what's the difference?"
