Often people tell me I shld put aside my differences with some1 because we are on the same side & the smaller differences shld be tolerated

Ill give you that his definition is bad. He does believe in objective truth. As well as subjective truths that are better defined as wisdom.
-
But not objective truth in the sense of truth that exists outside humanity & is true whether anyone believes it & is benefited by believing
-
If believing 2 + 2 = 5 helped humanity survive & procreate, he's say it was true rather than a false belief which benefited humanity.
-
But I have argued too much about this & am sick of it. I don't disown anyone for finding worth in his ideas. I just disagree. :) Must sleep.

All I wanna say is that Sam Harris interview is his worst moment. He mostly just wants epistemological room for mushroom trips.

He expands upon this in the
@joerogan podcast with@BretWeinstein. Kind of like hidden wisdom in tradition. Value of religious stories etc. -
To wit: Ideally these metaphorical truths map onto literal truth but often that's not possible. And he says that was original sense of truth
-
OK. They're still not true tho.
-
That's what Rogan said, you'd have to watch the podcast to get the gist, Weinstein agreed with Peterson.
-
But I'm not denying that people have used 'truth' to mean things that are satisfying rather than evidence-based. I'm just saying its wrong
-
Factually. 'It's true for me.' 'It's a different way of knowing.' Personal truths. A major problem with PoMo.

As an aside, I don't think Harris got the best version of Peterson's position. Better is found w
@BretWeinstein on@joerogan's podcast.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

That is amazing. I had no idea he was an 'other ways of knowing' guy.

He has such an odd world view. Totally humancentric. When we put ourselves at the center of everything, we later find we were wrong to do so
-
And how do you judge truth when it has no bearing on our survival? Dinosaurs? Other galaxies? The origin of the universe?
