Objective Truth! by Anonymous :: NR0

The objective truth is, that I am so glad to see that the last poll is gone.

I've heard people make the claim but they still stop at red lights and drive on the right side of the road even though they claim it doesn't matter.

Impossible to know... so far by Aleandros :: NR2

How can we know if there's an objective truth if the word "truth" is such a vague concept? A dictionary deffinition for something like that is just not enough. I believe in science and I beleive in reason and objectivity (I know, that may sound contradictory) but we have to accept that everything is based on human consciousness and maybe in a far future we could go beyond that. What will be next? Maybe objective truth, maybe somrething else.
