The Law of Pedantic Infinite Regress
Despite the fact that objective truth is undeniable, as denying it already presupposes the objectively true principle that a statement must be either true or false, people can generate escalating layers of pedantic objections, excuses, or pretexts, which have been socially accepted and internalized to prevent all socially unacceptable clarity and responsibility, which is almost all of it. Indeed, morality itself requires objective truth, for without truth, there can be no understanding of the cause and effect of one's actions. As such, everything good, sane, moral, intelligent, is defined as objective (lacking excuses); while everything bad, insane, immoral, foolish, is defined as pretextual (with excuses). What is the definition of an excuse? This is another regress. Do you truly not know what an excuse is? Indeed, another strange excuse is that universality, if an idea explains everything, would somehow render the idea useless or unfalsifiable, which is clearly contradictory. Not only is universality not the same as unfalsifiability, any common, contemporary attempts to refute this Law trigger the regress itself, making the Law self-evident in the truest, most literal sense.
