There is absolute Truth.
There is a right and wrong.
Your desires are not inherently right because they are yours: they might be wrong.
Identifying oneself by and as-the-sum-of one's base desires is not only morally corrupt, but a terrible idea that experience has shown leads to being hurt.
"Freedom" and "Liberty" are not the same thing as "license to act however you desire."
A society that enshrines vicious desire (greed, lust, vanity, pride, etc) as a cornerstone of its moral definitions is sick, and will not thrive.
Progress is not inevitable.
Your idea of "progress" might be wrong.
You aren't the smartest person in the world, or even on this forum.
Even the smartest person on the forum does not know anywhere close to everything.
Since birth, you have probably been misled by the narratives of sophists with large rhetorical platforms, who have little interest in you as a person.
You have probably listened to these lies so much, that your lack of courage or thoughtfulness tempts you to react with immature rhetorical tactics when you hear anything that contradicts your worldview, because actually addressing a diversity of ideas terrifies you.
You might be wrong. Or at the very least, you might not be right about everything.
You are not as good at sorting through fake news or real science or hard data or bad philosophy as you think you are.
If you don't agree with the above statement, it indicts you of being driven by base pride.
You, on this site because you like playing manipulative machiavellian power games, are uncomfortable at the amount of things in real life over which you have little to no control.
Whining about it on a mostly-anonymous forum is easier than getting things done in the real world.
You are not god.
