John Searle, in his "The Construction of Social Reality," does a memorable job dismissing arguments against objective, unbiased non-ideological reality by reminding the reader that we take the common human viewpoint for granted constantly. In fact, there is vastly more that we agree on that what we don't, e.g. "There is snow and ice at the top of Mt. Everest," or "this dollar is worth a cola" Sure, there are groups that impugn these most basic shared truths — e.g. flat-earthers and crpyto-financiers — but for most of us, the foundational nodes in our cognitive perceptual framework are boring, ie common. |
