The Erosion of Discourse
Discourse is at a decadent, modern stage where little to no truth is told but post-truths, facts that are told by others rather than by experience, which is no less the fault of the modern educational system, for it is a harsh doctrine the more enlightened one is, the more wicked one becomes, though this is the nature of scientific facts as post-truths, sending objective facts into exile by merely saying something exists rather than providing the thing itself, leading to a confusion between facts from experience and facts from others, who harbour facts from experience, and thus an erosion of reason, for reason without experience is of the Platonic world of ideas instead of the world as evolved errors of the intellect, a world that cannot be told of as mostly post-truths lest one risks forming errors upon inherent errors, and people like Amos Yee exemplify this erosion by forming post-truths out of unreplicated truths through himself to his viewers, although there are persons such as Cameron from Libertarian Socialist Rants who circumvent most of the effects of this problem by increasing the number of truths formed into post-truths, so then comes the point that a regiment of thinking is what is missing from political discourse in that discussions are based upon what he or she said and minute details that don’t need mentioning–such as Marxian economist Michael Roberts’s belief in the USA harbouring American imperialism, which doesn’t have any bearing on his data about China’s rising income inequality, though yet some noticed the phrase “American imperialism” and pitched their opposition to that aspect as an objection to the whole, when it really isn’t because the USA’s imperialism is a topic that is not remotely relevant to the thesis, so if you do that kind of whataboutism, you haven’t won the argument, but showed how much of a snowflake you are when it comes to other’s perspectives, opinions, and paradigms–an unregulated circulation of post-truths and inexperienced paradigms that invites the tendency toward reflective winning, toward selfishness, rather than the tendency toward intuitional productivity, toward cooperation, but if education teaches truths, performs experiments from which to one is encouraged to infer truths, rather than teaching post-truths, saying something exists and having one accept a fact without justification and use it without experiencing how the fact came about, then, in the former, intuition is excercised and, in the latter, reflection is exercised, of which intuition, inductive reasoning, is what is essential to using the Scientific Method, to learning truth, and to fostering cooperation by trust.
Intuition is a plant; and reflection a weed.
