Yes, exactly. This is my problem with epistemic relativists. Things are either true or they're not & they way to discover this is evidence.

I think it's semantics whether u want to call it truth but it does seem like an important phenomenon

It's not semantics. Epistemology matters. Facts matter. Science & evidence matter. They're how we progressed in the modern period.

PoMo & Peterson approaches which gloss over this & go into stories & subjective beliefs as the source of wisdom & knowledge are post-truth.

They contribute to the biggest problem PoMo brought us - the undermining of objective knowledge & the drive to search for it via science.

I can see why you see that as a problem. but as a psychology professor teaching an applied science we don't have full explanatory power yet

And I do this as a literature student studying narratives &the meaning they have for people. It's interesting &helps us understand ourselves

But it is vital not to blur subjective or cultural meaning with objective knowledge especially if we want to defeat postmodernism.

That's fair. But I'm a psychology student first, and a postmodernist destroyer second.

But does your psychology require you to share with postmodernism ideas about knowledge?

If ur problem with PoMo is ID politics & its use for lefty purposes, no conflict w/ Peterson. If you also care abt evidence-based truth, yes
