Nietzsche: "What then in the last resort are the truths of mankind? They are the irrefutable errors of mankind." 1882. That is the problem from my perspective; we are in a post truth world. That is what we have to reject: epistemological relativism. Truth is real in that a true statement is one that captures the real world. The DEI world, despite Mounk's delicate apologetics, does not give a damn about true objective statements, and the coercive censorious government world of Plato's Republic reflected by Rufo does not allow for any views opposed to those of the ruling body, be it a Republic or otherwise. Our Government must protect it's own rules that have been embraced by the people and that is all: Start by enforcing the First Amendment. Eliminate all DEI from all public schools but simultaneously protect real free speech. Yes say Gay and say Natural Law. Trust that Reason will indeed prevail over disagreement. J-S Mill has it absolutely right: "It is [REALLY] better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied. And if the fool, or the pig, is of a different opinion, it is [REALLY]only because they only know their own side of the question." Send our pigs and fools to Russia and Iran where they belong. We must oppose censorious autocrats be they college presidents or state governors. Reasonable argument is not harm. Reasonable arguments must not be squelched by dangerous cowards. DEI must die a natural death.
FANTASTIC DEBATE!!!
