In my opinion, knowledge is subjected to the same biases as the ones who produce it, consequently it can be truly objective. The lens in which knowledge is seek or perceived will influence the result of it.
Knowledge is situated, in a time, place, culture and so on. What was true yesterday, isn't necessarily true today, so can knowledge be truly objective ? |

"What was true yesterday, isn't necessarily true today, so can knowledge be truly objective ? "
Exactly. Yesterday was Thursday and today is Friday. But I bet this won't be the case tomorrow. |

I doubt it. There have been studies that show how researchers will consistently interpret data to fit their preconceptions. I'm not sure if those studies themselves have been proven to be free of confirmation bias. It's a bit of a catch 22! |

But we can look at knowledge objectively can’t we? Whisky it changes and depends upon as you say many biases, it doesn’t mean the knowledge or information at that time is biased if we are objective. |

I do see your point there, I should have clarified that I was talking about how knowledge rules how social world. People thought was colonisation was a good thing. Not anymore. Not a lot who will publicly admit it |

Which is why experiments are often repeated by different people, double blind controls exist, and there specific measures put in place to remove bias as much as possible.
It’s not perfect but it’s the best we got and it’s invented everything you see before you, it’s the reason most of us are alive, so it’s gotta work |

Actually it does, if your biases have influenced the production of knowledge. |

Watermelons will always be good for you, that’s just one of the basics. And leafblowers on tits will always be mesmerising, I feel these things are truly objective facts. |

Truth and knowledge are often reframed, it’s an interesting perspective and arguably one of the few truths out there is that a lot of knowledge is ever changing in varying contexts. |

There’s data, there’s information and then there’s knowledge - as each step is processed into the next as understanding, humans must be involved and there is always room for biases to interfere.
There’s also the issue of having some knowledge but not some different piece, and the biased view that could create in a person. |

True we can see this by the MMR vaccine scare. How scientists can publish in high impact journals based on their own bias.
We plan experiments we think will work so there is an inherent bias in that. |

Yes but that achievement where based on calculation, that is a different form of knowledge.
I truly believe that knowing is absolute. Especially when it comes to the production of knowledge. Knowledge that will become taken for granted knowledge depending on the period.
Sl*very was legal and actually based on the belief was black were not humans. It is not true but was true to them (the whites who claimed it, in order to validate and justify their behaviour). |

If we are talking semantics, surely knowledge is simply something that is known. There is no requirement for it to be factual. The role of science is to establish the facts from the known.
It is known that smoke rises. It is a fact that this is caused by convection.

Knowledge is back by maths and science, neither of which claim to 'prove' anything.
Correct concepts are not proved, incorrect ones are disproved. The maths and science only provide supportive data which can change over time - example science used to believe the moon originally broke off from Australia, now it doesn't but both were considered knowledge in their time.
My favourite Einstein quote "No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong". |

People are biased and seek to confirm those biases.
Facts are inalienable and the burden of proof is to confirm those facts.
People are flawed creatures that look for tangible and solid proof of what they want to understand, in order to improve.
We may learn and try to understand what we seek in order to confirm our biases but that doesn’t alter the nature of the facts themselves.
In short, no |

"But people believe verifications and statistics are real. "
Agreed, but believing something doesn't necessarily mean it is so.
For example, 100% of ravens that have ever been seen and recorded have been black so it's reasonable to accept "ravens are black" to be a fact because that's what the statistics say. But if one is born albino one day (in the past or future) then the fact is incorrect regardless of what the stats may say.
This area fascinates me, particularly whether there is such a thing as an "absolute truth". I don't want to derail the thread too deeply but would be more than happy to continue in DM or Kik if anyone is interested in discussing.

I guess it could. Or maybe the knowledge doesn't change but maybe our perceptions and thought process change over time as we mature and as we assimilate new knowledge.
Could also be physiological as we get older our memory fades clouding the perception so we are left with a version of events rather than the knowledge we had at that moment in time.
