"We should live in a world with correct ideas, full stop."
I'm not sure I know which ideas are "correct", but I know this particular idea you've just expressed is terrifying.
- MichaelGG 13y agoIs it? We constantly improve our knowledge and understanding. I don't think it's a stretch to say we don't want invalid ideas (like "homeopathy cures diseases") being accepted as true. Perhaps my phrasing was off - I didn't mean to imply that other ideas shouldn't exist, just that they should not be accepted as true, nor should every issue be two-sided and seek a balance. Even so, if we could all agree on basic axioms and goals, I don't think it's too far-fetched to say we'd all like to arrive at correct ideas.
