"Decide" the truth
We've forgotten what a fact is or something
More and more I've seen (and heard) the sentiment that the truth is something that must be "decided" or collaborated on somehow, rather than something that just is the case. This is a ridiculous and harmful stance, because it destroys people's understanding of what a fact is (read: the date hitler killed himself. It's a fact, this is not a contentious item that must receive consensus before it becomes true).
I also think it's very very modern. It slots nicely into the new meta of movies, something that was recently pointed out to me again when I watched a modern remake of an old movie. There's a lot more "soft" interaction between people (emotional, nobody can be wrong type stuff). There's nothing necessarily wrong with it, but I do find it kind of tedious in entertainment. I see enough folks making drama in real life based on vague feelings that can't be wrong. This essentially results in them yelling at each other and never getting anywhere, because they've already decided nobody else needs listening to. There's nothing objective that they're discussing, it's all about how they feel and what they feel happened ten minutes (or an hour) ago.
To me this seems harmful (also it hugely pisses me off, because it's wasting everyone's time). I've experienced this pattern in person: "I didn't say this" and when there's incontrovertible truth that someone did, the response is "well I don't feel like I did". This is essentially gaslighting, but it's entirely socially acceptable. It is my wish everyone would fucking stop doing it, and that everyone would stop this "reality is all subjective and we can't agree on anything ever unless I deign to bless you with my affirmation" shit.
We all deserve better than to pretend when someone pushes me off a building, I only fall to my death if we both agree gravity exists.
