Knowledge and The Crowd

Knowledge nowadays has become a crowd-centered process, to convince people to accept something as true via empirical evidence (sciences) and/or logical reasoning. Maieutics is long forgotten. The enlightenment part of knowledge has become unfashionable, indeed the word 'enlightenment' nowadays is more closely related to spiritual hippies rather than to intellectuals. This stems from the diminishing recognition of knowledge as acquiring a fraction of the one absolute truth. 'Knowledge' itself is not knowledge of the truth, but a means to convince the crowd to a certain proposition. Knowledge without truth is not knowledge, as knowledge by definition is knowing something and if there is no something out there, there is no knowing it. Imbeciles of the modern world claim illogically that the truth is always relative, everything is relative, the truth of their mothers being human is a matter of opinion then, they should accept if i disagree with them. The truth is not relative it is absolute, a number can only be an integer or not an integer. The truth is absolute. To sense a touch of this truth must be our goal. The objective of positing a theory must be to claim the truth of it, not just to become a widely accepted proposition. Not just to convince the crowd. Why would they even want to convince the crowd? The crowd is untruth
