Friday discussion
On Friday, my group had very similar views about the discussion questions. The general consensus was that fact does differ based on opinion, with the sole exception of experimental sciences. The point where we did differ was exactly how much opinion influences fact. In some cases involving reasoned logic based on existing accepted truth, out opinions of fact did differ. We agreed that truth depends on context based on how much of the truth is hold and who the person is. When two experts agree, we all agreed, the best solution is to go with the answer that feels more right to you, or even take parts of both arguments, following your gut feeling. We thought that science and math have right answers, but all other subjects can have more than one right answer or even no right answer. Finally, that everything we know might be changing left some of us kind of scared, others excited, and all of us pondering the idea.
