Ideas

A sign of narrow mindedness is to defend ideas. Ideas are made to discuss, not to defend.

What Is NOT True?

No Idea (band) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

I suppose, that any concepts or ideas created to serve our subjective purposes, such as "justifying" our actions, validate our living conditions, even promote happiness or humanity, are NOT true. Based on this view, even humanism is NOT a truthful idea, but an idealism. The truth, pure objective truth, is neutral, even inhuman.

Judgement, Who Is To Blame?

Though some ideas, concepts, scientific theories, or even facts are objective themselves, or neutral regarding judgement, i.e. the discovery of evolution, they could still encourage people's prejudice. But, it is "people" to blame, not those ideas or scientists (or at least some scientists), because it is humans' weakness that we are afraid of truth, it is humans' illness that we misinterpret facts. So to forbid some people (usually minority) from speaking truth (such as political correctness) just because of some other people (usually majority)'s misinterpretation, is in fact an act of favoring humans weakness and punishing those who are strong.
