Is there any universal truth?

[amadeus]

I think everyone on OT can agree Nazi Germany was pretty bad.

 

[Berzerker]

how do the Malthusians feel about Hitler?

Of course there is universal truth, but agreeing on it is unlikely.

Can CFC agree on anything?

There's always a contrarian...

Sure we can: some version of civilization was good.

Now if you ask which...

Which universe are we talking about here?

Mathematics should be pretty universal. Everything else is up in the air

 

[Angst]

Things exist.

That's about it.

1) A universal truth "existing" is completely different from having people agreeing on something. People can agree on something that is wrong.
2) There is at the very least ONE universal truth : the answer to the question of "is there a universal truth ?". So that's basically a question answering itself.

Found it!

 

[Aiken_Drumn]

Well that does answer it I must admit!

The non-existence of universal truth would itself be a universal truth. This sounds an awful lot like a restatement of the Liar's Paradox.

Facts are truth.

Alternative facts are untruths.
