Truth without authority is just your opinion with a halo.
If truth exists objectively, it has a source. That source has authority whether you acknowledge it or not.
You’re not rejecting authority. You’re just crowning yourself as the final arbiter of what’s true. That’s not freedom. That’s the oldest rebellion in the book.
“You will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
