Absolute truth must exist, because if it doesn't, "there is no absolute truth" is absolutely true, which is a contradiction.
You should look into Godel's incompleteness theorem.
Kind of, right? You're making strong assumptions about the meanings of words. A lot of continental philosophy has been written about this subject.
You arent the decider of what truth is though, especially for others.
You don't agree that there are universal truths? Like the earth is spherical, the sun provides us light, and lemmy.ml is full of tankies?
I mean, in the same vein, I can completely break reality if it can't stand a contradiction, watch:
This sentence is false.
Obviously truth is absolute. The question is whether morality is absolute or relative.
