Richard Rorty 

Looks like he was pretty helpful to YOU, apparently "For Rorty, truth is not something objectively present but only 'what your contemporaries let you get away with.' "

Hym "So... Richard Rorty believed 'that when it comes to religion, belief is a matter of “cultural politics,” that is, instead of trying to find some rational basis for religion, we should ask whether religious beliefs and practices are conducive to human flourishing or not.' And 'advocated the creation of a culture of global human rights in order to stop violations from happening through a sentimental education. He argued that we should create a sense of empathy or teach empathy to others so as to understand others' suffering.' Ok? So there's 4 clips off og google about what this guy generally believed. I can totally see why Jordan hates this guy. You have to teach empathy. He doesn't care about human flourishing if it means he has to give up the unearned moral authority that comes with religion. And I AM THE TRUTH his contemporaries let him get away with. Like Jesus. 🎶I am the life and the waAaAaAy they'll only read about! 🎶 Right? Like the song. But, no, yeah, no I totally see why Jordan hates this guy."
