In order to see the facts, you must observe without judgement. Most people seem unwilling or unable to try this.

Such plain, simple brilliance. Distilled wisdom made simple. And we cannot follow it.

[jadezee]

what causes people to get things wrong, even if they were eyewitness to something?
they respond to questioning with bias....and images...not the facts...an easy argument to make but a very hard reality for people to accept...it partly explains ALL argument and why things never get resolved

One of the greatest philosophers of 21 st century

Knowledge still comes down to justified true belief. Facts are not all that matters. One also has to take into account how little they know. Things can be true will minimal facts or evidence.

There are no facts that support love. Love is wise, but it isn't in facts or truth, we don't have the slightest idea what it is, and that is as it should be.

[nmone]

There are many types of facts and some facts are are simply more aligned with the dominant culture

I wonder if Russell ever let ived ong enough to see studies on cognitive bias

[SeanAnthony-jf]

Unfortunately, that is just theoretically impossible... Unfortunately people just made judgements with different wild sources and resorts in ad hominem if confronted

[chenkraps]

Talking about truth and teasing all the postmodernists out there

[ekhanie]

Unfortunately in 2022, it's all feelings over facts.

[coldblackfire]

first of all, people must be able to define fact and truth, which wouldn't be able to if it would save their lives.
