And I actually don't believe that, so there's one example of how people can have different opinions. To bring it back to Sam's point, this shows we don't have a unified view on this

Opinions dont matter to reality is my point. Unification of opinion doesn't mean anything logically or morally.

I'm not sure if even that is defensible, if a person has conflicting opinions and is in a position of power, they can matter greatly. For example Hitler's opinions on Jews/Gypsies

That has nothing to do with moral or logical truth. Your conment is off-topic.
replied 1750d
It isn't off topic, but I'm beginning to doubt if you even know what you're talking about
replied 1750d
So you are only talking about a small subset of truths, and statements?
replied 1750d
I don't understand your question.
replied 1750d
You specified "moral or logical truth" in response to Hibuddha's question. So I am asking if you were only talking about that subset of true statements on the issue of objective truth.
replied 1750d
Moral truth is a subset, logical truth is the whole genre.

So was his example off topic? If a person subjective opinion has power to enforce their subjective opinion on others, one could say subjective opinion can matter objectively.
replied 1750d
In that instance its not the opinion that matters, but the guns.

You could say the guns enforced the opinions. I think it was the influence that spread the opinion to others though. The ideology mattered.
replied 1749d
No, your ideology doesn't objectively "matter" just because you can enforce it on others. You're playing a word game here.
replied 1749d
The ideology was not enforced so much as it spread. The people were not against the ideology.
