Great post, and a very important topic at that. Sometimes it feels easy to fall into a relativistic stupor. I think we certainly need to solidify and refine out general concept of truth as a society to help us all move forward (though this may be a pipedream). The crazy divide on this definition brings to mind the infuriating first podcast Sam Harris did with Jordan Peterson where they spent 2 hours arguing about the definition of truth, with Peterson being firmly entrenched in the relativistic interpretation.
