Hi Therese, could you post this on my forum? https://groups.google.com/forum/#!for...
If I start addressing philosophical issues on multiple platforms I will go crazy, so I reserve my own forum for it.
Cheers, Bernardo.

Hi Bernardo, thanks for accepting my friend request.
Just wanted to question one comment you made in response to someone else's question. It concerns the issue of facts. Are facts different from absolute truth? Quantum physics has ruled out our access to absolute truth. What impact does this have on the standing of 'facts'? There are contradictory facts, like light is a wave and light is a particle. I would like to agree with you that there are facts that we can use in our day to day lives. But with the observer effect, it leaves us at a loss when trying to convince one another that our facts are more true than someone else's facts.
I think that this is a fundamental quandary that is making it very difficult to find a consensus among people with very different psychological profiles. There is no way to absolutely prove facts anymore. It's what gives rise to things like climate change denial. How would you resolve this issue?
