Embrace Uncertainty in Human Beliefs
Human nature may instinctively reject the suffering of others, yet this tendency is highly adaptable. While a significant number of people today embrace liberalism and strive to prevent unnecessary suffering, liberalism itself lacks an inherent justification. The authority to judge the effectiveness of social policies resides with the citizens rather than philosophers. This raises existential questions about the solidity of individual beliefs, as no absolute foundations for concepts like human rights can be established. Accepting this uncertainty should be liberating rather than distressing. A detailed examination of irony may offer further insights into navigating this complex landscape of beliefs.
