The idea that there's no such thing as facts is anti-intellectual bullshit. If you can empirically establish the truth of a particular assertion, it's a fact. A fact is just a truth claim that's objectively true. If I say it's 50°F outside, that's not an opinion. I can look at a thermometer and verify that it is, in fact, 50°F. In that moment, the claim that it's 50°F is an objective fact. Facts exist, and their truth forms the basis of our understanding of reality. People who claim there's no such thing as objective truth are either ignorant of what they're talking about, or they're dishonest and pushing an agenda.

Lol what?

There's no hard facts chief. Those hard facts you claim was reached from consensus that's defined over centuries. 50F has little to no bearing to anyone using the metric system. .

These are not hard facts. Even physics "hard facts" likBbe Gravity is reached by consensus. Newton didn't come out swinging with facts.

That's just not how "facts work"

That's like saying there's only one truth. Even science has consensus, not these so called hard facts you claim.

What's intellectual bullshit is you not understanding this. Even community notes are consensus public facing so that "fact" can be reached via community consensus.

There is hope yet Sister, just relinquish your systems; come to the metric side.

Did you know that 50 degrees F has an equivalent in other measuring systems?

Did you also know that Celsius is meant to measure water temp and Fahrenheit is meant for gas temperatures?

The Theory of Gravity was accepted because of the large amount of data it explains.

How can there be more than one truth? Water freezes at sea level at 0 Celsius, but also at 20 celsius?
