First, was this blithering idiot awarded a PhD for this garbage?
Second, truth is certainly a subjective concept. See, truth is a philosophical concept. Truth is a moral construct relative to the philosopher. Truth has no place in STEM for that very reason.
The word this dunce needs to learn is one we typically learned in first grade ... Fact. STEM is grounded in fact, not truth. STEM has no moral relevance. Only facts are relative in STEM. Nothing about STEM is philosophical. One might use philosophy to devise a theory, but one must ultimately prove a theory using fact. Again, There is no truth in stem (it is also true that STEM is horrible as a philosophy ... It’d be akin to saying “My religion is English language” ... Overall, STEM defines and quantifies the universe and dictates the construction of tools we use to manipulate said universe)
If this moron is awarded a doctorate for this scribble that has ZERO basis in reality, that university should lose its accreditation. Moreover, it should be nuked from orbit just to make sure such a regressive intellect never spawns from that point of origin in the future.
Liberals make me ridiculously angry anymore. Theyre all concerned about microagressions ... They really need to start worrying about the macro aggression that’s heading their way. Frigging alt-reality slobs ...
Which is funny, because the highest degree awarded to the majority of research scientists is the PhD, or Doctorate of Philosophy.
I took a philosophy class once and hated it. If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there, does it still make a sound? Oh my goodness, what an incredible level of arrogance must have existed in the person who came up with that gem! The physical processes of the universe really do not care if people even exist or not! Sheesh.
Regardless of my strong distaste for philosophy, I still like to put those letters, "Ph.D." after my name.
I think it was Aristotle that said: “you can resolve any argument in less than 10 minutes if you first define the terms”.
Unfortunately our language is getting more bastardized by the day - a lot of it on purpose in order to propagandize and confuse us.
Your distinction of truth vs fact is a case in point. The two are often used as synonyms and even defined as synonyms in thesauruses.
Much of the relativism that plagues us today is the result of the prevalence and dominance of postmodernism (what a stupid name) at the colleges and universities, especially in the liberal arts.
You might appreciate and enjoy this audiobook by Stephen Hicks available in Youtube that describes and then takes a wrecking ball to that pathetic “philosophy”.

It’s post-modern pseudo-intellectual garbage. She should be kicked out for this nonsense.
One problem with getting a Ph.D. in education is the need to write a thesis on something new. What’s new in education? Not much really. At least not much that is intellectually accessible to the type of student who usually goes into this field. Therefore we are subjected to a constant stream of morons making up new crap to foist on the next generation of students.
I heard about one guy who wrote a master’s thesis in education on the uses of styrofoam. Not as stupid as this woman, but still pathetic.
