Circulating around X, formerly Twitter, several weeks ago was a two-minute except from a TED Talk given by the person responsible for the content of publicly funded radio. Most of it is difficult to follow circular-speaking gobbledygook. With the bulk of the talk serving as preamble and support for her key point, NPR CEO Katherine Maher managed to distill down the fundamental principle of today’s political left into seven words: “…we acknowledge there are many different truths.” Not only did she make such a declaration, but she also credited these multiple truths with creating “glorious chronicles to the human experience”. Even in full context it is difficult to understand just exactly what that means. That might be the point though. As WC Fields once said…” If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bs.” This clip is the left in a nutshell.
Two months have passed, but as we exit Pride Month, this retains its relevance. This concept provides the framework for why a man can be a woman, for why 1 can equal 2, and why the Canadian Cancer Society has, with apologies, decided to rename the cervix the “front hole”. Not following the science, the pandering even eschews basic biology because the cervix is not the vaginal opening, regardless of whether it comes naturally to a person or is a recent mutilation to a male body.
In nods to political correctness, or make believe, other recent examples of glorious chronicles to the human spirit include a morbidly obese young woman being crowned Miss National American Alabama 2024, and a dude winning the title of “Miss” Maryland 2024.
On a macro scale, abandoning objective truth as a baseline upon which we all agree, comes second only to the erasure of our southern border as a challenge to the continued legitimacy of this country. The insistence of the political left to unmoor existence from reality brings into doubt our national sanity and our ability to rely on reason and sound judgement. This truth divide is a philosophical, spiritual and political struggle. Abandoning reality allows anything. Stressors to accuracy and precision bring everything into possibility. We find now that uncontrolled immigration is beneficial to the US, that Ukraine -and endless war in general – is of vital importance to the US, that narratives in complete contrast to truthfulness can be spread with impunity about the use of Ivermectin, the Covid vaccine, two weeks to stop the curve, and closing down schools and churches. Voters cannot, now, be trusted to believe their own eyes about the physical deterioration of our President. Though one struggles to find any metric; foreign, or domestic, in which the Biden administration has performed well for middle class Americans, the left continually parrots the opinion that Trump is bad, and Biden is good. From the pages of Orwell, there are now government and media departments of misinformation and disinformation. The acceptance of truth binds society. Holding to our own individual truths, as it were, leaves us in a condition similar to that around the Tower of Babel. When truth, and by extension, words lose their meaning, we run around talking gibberish. Catholics have been taught, at least until recently, that the evil one lurks in the subjective shadows. When that principle is abandoned, we find ourselves using contorted language to debate issues that were outlandish a generation ago: Minor-attracted persons, non-binary, gestational-carrier, spontaneous blessings of people in irregular situations.
