We can see the impact that humanity has made on the earth by looking at any of the thousands of great cities we have built, but would the majesty of our planet be any more brilliant if we humans had never existed?

In the sense that one could argue there is no such thing as truth, as i have heard many declare. Though I've also heard it argued that the evidence of fact is proof of truth's existence.

But are fact and truth synonymous?

Today was the first day of my philosophy: focus on critical thinking class, and the professor opened with a question,

"If the most significant person in your life believed Santa Claus existed, would it affect your feelings in the relationship to the point of ending the relationship?"

It was posed to argue that what other people believe should matter to us.

Ever the skeptic, I immediately thought, NO. Thinking of my father, and that he is entitled to believe what he wants, and also that my relationship with him would never end, and if it did certainly not over something so arbitrary.

Anyway, bc it was the first day, i kept my mouth shut, and he went on to declare that he "guarantees" it would end the relationship. No exceptions, no nothing.

A hypothetical situation paired with an absolute truth? What! In a critical thinking classroom? That seems so illogical to me.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't a trick, He seemed to sure of himself for it to be a ploy

does it make you laugh, or feel proud, or something else? did you live it, see it, or hear it, is it true or fiction? from a book or movie?
