Thoughts for today: I’ve been reading self help books from the late 80s/early 90s as part of trying to figure out how we got here and have settled on it being some combination of prosperity doctrine and ableism à la Terry Cole-Whittaker and her ilk. This is what I have to say about that:

Has the word “truth” officially changed to now refer to subjective experiences, i.e., “my truth”? If so, do we have any words left that signify objective absolutes? “Fact” maybe? Or is the consensus that there is no such thing as an objective absolute?
