Woke War on Objectivism

Amazon Author Page : Lance Miller

Two propositions:

1. The truth is subjective.
   • elevates opinions, feelings, identity, partisanship, and perception to the status of truth.
   • implies that truth is relative, fluid, and immaterial.
   • tends toward philosophical skepticism and disengagement with opposing arguments.
2. The truth is objective.
   • makes truth seem hard to reach, because objectivity isn't easy.
   • implies that truth can be a stubborn constraint on realizing our hopes.
   • tends toward pluralism, since no point of view can monopolize truth, and truth cannot be kept segregated into seperate subjective parallel worlds.

There is a decades-long smearing of objectivism and promotion of subjectivism on the Left. From the 90s Leftist promotion of mysticism (in all kinds of cultural traditions), to the emergence of personal experience as the referenced source in college coursework.

I think there is and will be a lot of culture war battling on objectivism versus subjectivism, especially as right-sided culture warriors are blind to the epistemological roots and fight without seeing the rhetorical playing field for the simplicity it is.

My longheld stance on the dichotomy is this: subjective never gets to have a default value above zero in social/public currency.

One's personal subjective experience is exactly that, personal and internal.

The Leftist focus on subjective references are formulaic performances which are more predictable than messy objective reality.

So first LGBT BIPOCs learned the formula, then through repetition and drift the performances evolved into unrealistic mystical camp. This lauded subjectivism isn't in the inspired, savant, genius, gifted artist realm. It is silly and poorly executed cosplay. We've been asked to fundamentally rearrange reality around the stupidest end of our internal depths.
