Hinzugefügt: 2026-05-16

[00:00:00]I think you'd be fighting pretty hard for the truth, you know, the thing that corresponds to reality in those specific scenarios because lies, I'm sorry, other people's truths that aren't true have huge consequences. Relativism is not only flawed, it's unlivable and unsustainable. And let's be honest, nobody wants a relative answer when they ask a real question, especially [music] if it's directions to a gas station when you have to go to the bathroom. Let's say you deposited $100 into the bank yesterday, but the banker's truth is that you didn't. Your sweet hundo, gone.

[00:00:27]>> Let's say you got every answer on every test right, but the teacher's truth is that you flunked the whole grade. Now, you have to repeat it. Your summer, gone. See, I think you get it. And wait a second, what if I say my favorite candy is M&M's and you say your favorite candy is Snickers.

[00:00:41]>> [music] >> See, what's true for me is not true for you in that sense, right? Well, actually, wrong. See, I'm saying it's true that my favorite candy is M&M's and you are saying it's true that your favorite candy is Snickers. We're simply stating the truth about our preferences.
