Pepper’s Response to Logical Positivism
By restricting knowledge to the claims of belief founded on evidence of observable data and formal reasoning, the positivists deny the possibility of metaphysics as a meaningful cognitive enterprise.

The string of fake "attacks", and political resentment
The Jussie Smollett imbroglio is only the latest in a long, long line of alleged attacks against liberal, left-wing and progressive causes and individuals by alleged supporters of President Trump. Almost all of those allegations have proved to be false, made up by their alleged victims. There's a list of some of them here, if you're interested - and it's by no means exhaustive. I suspect the underlying reason for these fake attacks is resentment, pure and simple. The "enlightened" classes are furious that the voters of America elected Donald Trump in the first place.
