Cultural synthesis is how a compromise between various opinions is worked out. But truth does not change, and truth is not arrived at by some sort of compromise.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When one lives in a society where people can no longer rely on the institutions to tell them the truth, the truth must come from culture and art.
Truth is eternal, unchanging, though circumstances may and do operate to give a different colour to it, in our view, at different times. And truth will prevail, and those who do not yield to it must be destroyed by it.
A cultural shift is not always an ideological one - or at least not always the one you imagine. Our norms are always evolving.
We've had a major shift in what truth is and where it comes from. We've gone from being God-centered to self-centered, from being objective to being subjective, and from being internal to external.
Truth is one forever absolute, but opinion is truth filtered through the moods, the blood, the disposition of the spectator.
Somewhere between the intellectual idea of why we're attracted to certain things and the pragmatic reality is some form of ever-evolving truth.
Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favor.
We only exist in terms of how we think we exist. Meaning every cultural development is fabricated and can be fabricated.
Opinions are made to be changed - or how is truth to be got at?
When cultural change succeeds, it succeeds because it's so embedded in what we do that we don't have to think about.
