Society determines what is correct or wrong. A jury is a random selection of society. Anyone who wants provide a good to a society must follow principles set by the society.
- ekianjo 7y agoAnd maybe Society gets things wrong right? We dont torture people to get confessions anymore (in most western countries at least) so surely our standards evolve over time. We are not at the Apex of everything yet.
- miguelmota 7y agoYes society sometimes gets things 'wrong' in retrospective
- UnFleshedOne 7y agoNot 'wrong', just wrong. There is such a thing as an objective truth (for a given question), and you can be relatively closer to or farther from it than the next guy (or next 8 billion guys).
- dhkxh 7y agoNo - the facts don't change just because a large enough number of people disagree.
- miguelmota 7y agoFacts in a society are what that society deems or 'proven to be as truth'. Most facts are indeed a fact because a large amount of people (in the respective field) agree that it is a 'fact' ('irrefutable truth' as seen by that society or group).
