There is only a single source of truth and that is objective reality. Maybe you agree with that, but your wording is messy. It's true that different perspectives can yield their own particular bits of truth, if that's what you're saying.

"Objective reality" is only the source for the least interesting truth. The truths that really get people fighting over concern best courses of action, moral matters, aesthetic issues, and things like that, where there isn't some singular objective truth (and even if there was, nobody has access to it).

> thinks like that

These aren’t truths. It’s cases like “is the earth flat?” that have an answer in objective reality and people still argue about it where some people are simply wrong.

[coldtea]

What's addressed as truth is not some holy artifact handed out for us by God, or what some theory of Logic defines as such.

It's what people consider and call a truth. Language terms are defined by use.

And people absolutely argue, fight, unite, or even go to war, for the version of those that they'll consider and call the truth of such matters.

[Retric]

The English language has multiple independent definitions of the same word. You’re misusing that ambiguity here.

“sincerity in action, character, and utterance” is different than “the body of real things, events, and facts”

[hallole]

You say that, but some people really do give you a hard time if you try to assert that there is one, definite, objective reality.

[rrgok]

Uh, what is objective reality?

[Peacefulz]

What is objectivity?

“There is only a perspectival seeing, only a perspectival ‘knowing’; and the more affects we allow to speak about one thing, the more eyes, different eyes, we can use to observe one thing, the more complete will our ‘concept’ of this thing, our ‘objectivity,’ be.” — Nietzsche:On the Genealogy of Morals III

It's a target. Objectivity does not appear in nature in a stable form. Nothing is fixed and certain. Some things just appear that way from our point of view.

My own addendum: the atoms are stories, too.

[hallole]

What is.
