Can a post-modern thinker admit to being wrong?

In our current culture, post-modernism has become our generations way of thinking. Postmodernism is a tendency in contemporary culture characterized by the rejection of objective truth and global cultural narrative. It emphasizes the role of language, power relations, and motivations; in particular it attacks the use of sharp classifications such as male versus female, straight versus gay, white versus black, and imperial versus colonial. Many people believe that truth is relative. That their truth is their truth and my truth is my truth and as long as our truths don't conflict then we can be friends. However, If my truth conflicts with your truth we can't be in relationship. My question is "then who is correctable?" "Where is accountability?" and, "How do you discern if you are deceived? Jeremiah 17:9 states that " ABOVE ALL THINGS the heart is deceitful. Who can know it?" Prov. 15:32 He who ignores discipline despises himself, but whoever heeds correction gains understanding.Prov. 15:33 The fear of the LORD teaches a man wisdom, and humility comes before honor.
