Exactly.
And it all ties into this "there's no such thing as truth or objective reality" malarkey, which has taken hold in academia and spread to the rest of the world from there, like the nasty virus it is.
I actually had a friend who went to uni at the same time as I did, earnestly say "I don't think there's any such thing as truth". Unfortunately at that time, I didn't realise the full extent of this view, and didn't think to shoot it down with "well go jump off a cliff and see if you fall, then".
And very recently I had another friend argue that there is such a thing as "someone's truth". Which is same nonsense in a different wrapper.
