Truth World or Lie World?

It seems like a time of "conflict" is much more revealing than a time of peace and stability. The philosophical underpinnings of the thinking of warring sides gets revealed. In a time of peace and stability the underlying beliefs of the people are not even unconscious, they're secret or forgotten. The ideas that train and shape the lives of millions of people in a mass society aren't subject to change, they're not even available for debate or discussion.

Today, you've got the "left" and the "right" at odds in the United States. The "left" thinks there's no objective outside world. Their main principle is extreme solipsism. They seem to think existence is really a product of "belief" and that there's really no external world. Therefore, ironically, they seek to impose their beliefs by force. They want to compel everyone to have the same internal thinking as some elect priesthood. This is exemplified by foisting the idea that people can "change gender" by surgery and hormones on the masses. If you play along with their fantasy world, then maybe their fantasy world is "true". Nature, an external world, and the notion that there is a divine order is abhorrent to these people. They're really basically like bad, narcissistic, spoiled children having a temper tantrum against nature.

The idealized "right" is that there is a natural order. The actual political "right" seems to claim it's the institutional arbiter of what that natural order is. In practice it ends up looking a whole lot like the left. The will and beliefs of a handful of people gets foisted onto the population. Compelling people to "believe" in what the leadership claims is a manifest natural order is just as nonsensical as anything the "left" does.

A discovery of what's true is a radically individual exercise. It actually seems impossible to "show" someone the truth. An individual needs to stub his toe to learn.
