Living in an age of ever-changing truth and falsehood

Question from the Internet:

“How can we manage life in an age when “truth and falsehood” are changing all the time?”

As you can see from the state of the world, we are not managing verfy well, especially since “truth vs. falsehood” is ever-changing, we have nothing to hold onto or to measure ourselves against.

We will continue to sink ever-deeper into the “quick-sand” of the ever-changing “guidelines”, “policies”, propaganda-driven “correctness” or “moral values”. We will continue blindly seleepwalking towards self-destruction as long as we remain locked into our inherently egocentric and subjective viewpoint and gthe instinctively self-serving, self-justifying and individualistic calculations while we all try to survive and succeed at each other’s expense.

We need solid foundations based on a new, purposefully and consciously acquired selfless and thus objective perception of reality, where we become capable of observing and understanding others and the world “outside of ourselves”, without the usual and instinctive egocentric and subjective bias.

And that is possible through a special, purposeful and empirical scientific method that can help us gain independence from our original self, giving us a liberated, clean and transparent viewpoint.
