In post modern culture, people not only have their own views, they think they are entitled to their own facts.
It used to be, everyone was entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts. But that's not the case anymore. Facts matter not at all. Perception is everything.
As Colin Wilson has written, "modern civilisation, with its mechanised rigidity is producing more outsiders than ever before-people who are too intelligent to do some repetitive job, but not intelligent enough to make their own terms with society." Those "intelligent enough" to make their own terms with society are what we will later refer to as artists of life. The outsider views himself as a product of a culture he rejects-the artist views himself as a culture-builder.
The idea that we live in a post-modern culture is a myth. In fact a post-modern culture is an impossibility; it would be utterly unlivable. Nobody is a post-modernist when it comes to reading the labels on a medicine bottle versus a box of rat poison! You better believe that texts have objective meaning!
Truthiness is tearing apart our country, and I don't mean the argument over who came up with the word. I don't know whether it's a new thing, but it's certainly a current thing, in that it doesn't seem to matter what facts are. It used to be, everyone was entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts. But that's not the case anymore. Facts matter not at all. Perception is everything.
Great Daniel Patrick Moynihan said that everyone`s entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts. I`m not sure that`s true anymore.
You can’t argue with facts. You’re not entitled to your own facts.
You're entitled your own opinions, but you're not entitled to your own facts.
Can you really think artists and writers are the only people entitled to lives of their own?
Opinion is not knowledge. You're entitled to your own opinion but you're not entitled to your own facts.
Everyone feels entitled to their own facts.
Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.
You are entitled to your opinion. But you are not entitled to your own facts.
We should never denigrate any other culture but rather help people to understand the relationship between their own culture and the dominant culture. When you understand another culture or language, it does not mean that you have to lose your own culture.
Mr. President, you’re entitled as a president to your own airplane, and to your own house, but not to your own facts.
You're entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts.
A post-9/11, modern take being Batman training people to be the heroes they know they can be on their own.
