Traditional And Conservative Culture In Conflict With Relativity.

[Mr Hyde]

Traditional and conservative culture is historically built upon absolutes but ever since relativity has entered the picture of human thought relative truth has begun to erode conservativism in this post modern age.

Instead of the individual being commanded to follow a absolute truth from way up high above in a age of relative truth individuals instead create truth for themselves where they are no longer eager to follow absent absolutes professed in a conservative fashion.

Could it be that we are at the twilight of traditional and conservative culture where both will completely erode altogether? What will then come afterwards?

Mr. Hyde. Society has always been under pressure to change and remain the same. It has always had impulses of conservatism and some notion of progressivism. Otherwise we would still have the same culture as the middle ages. Your question is rather absurd at its core.

yeah, relativism is old as hell, not something just created hence the manipulative discuss of people thinking physics have just discovered something old as if relativeness was all the same.

I'm merely saying that as more absolutes are shown to be absent illusions the more traditional and conservative culture will erode or regress.

Your arguement about the middle ages or past history is mute because the study of relativity is at it's highest in the present in many fields of knowledge. We are at the twilight.

Points to previous post.

Man deludes himself that he is the measure of all things but I practically understand your post nonetheless. :):thumbs_up
