Is there such a thing as absolute truth

by Jason Batton

Created on: May 21, 2009   Last Updated: June 03, 2009

The solutions to most of the social, economic, moral, and environmental problems humanity currently faces exist alongside a complete understanding and acknowledgment of the real nature of truth. This is especially true considering the high degree of confusion concerning this topic in the modern world. Despite the many technological advancements made in the modern era, there has been a dramatic decrease in the number of great thinkers inhabiting the earth today. I am referring to people who will later go down in history for making a contribution great enough to revolutionize his or her particular field of study. Intellectual pursuits such as music, art, philosophy, science, literature, and theology have become non factors to the human experience. It appears that the current trend of relativism has adversely affected the intelligence level of the entire human race.

For reasons unknown, many first world nations have successfully eliminated abstract thinking altogether. Most western cultures no longer possess the right environment to foster men and women like Mozart, Freud, Shakespeare, Michael Angelo, Aristotle, Thomas Edison, Martin Luther King Jr, and Mother Theresa. These man and women were known for their superior intellects, spiritual development, and vision. Individuals possessing these qualities would go unrecognized.in present day America where it's system seems be set up to destroy and discredit new and original ideas. Since most geniuses are often eccentric and live un-orthodox lives, the United States would not be a very accommodating place for them to live. It's system is set up so opportunities are limited for those who live and think in accordance to the nations social agenda. When considering the fact that these agendas are not above distorting truth through social manipulation, it should be easy to understand America's intellectual decline in recent years.

As opposed to changing their strategies so they will have some basis in factual reality, it looks as if the social engineers are trying to get people to believe things not based in truth by controlling how each individual perceives reality. Therefore, a nation full of intelligent independent minded people would be counter productive. This could explain why that our academic institutions are designed to accommodate impressionable students. The more independent minded peoples they can keep out of the academic institutes, the easier it will be to deceive the masses. This may explain why males
