I wonder what it would look like to go back in history and compile a bunch statements of the form "The fact is X and anyone who disputes this is wrong." What gems might we find? "The fact is that the Sun obviously revolves around the Earth and anyone who disputes this is lying to themselves." "The fact is that man will never fly and anyone who disputes this is wrong." I'll leave an exercise to the reader to imagine a white plantation owner stating "obvious facts" about another race. I'd like to say "the Earth is flat" but you're more likely to hear that now than thousands of years ago. And of course we have entire disciplines of study that are basically devoted to finding a justification for being a greedy asshole. I'm guessing you're a fan of those lines of study? The fact is that the world is complicated, and we're here now and it's our turn to say what it means to be human.
