You're conflating a bunch of different things, and engaging in fallacious reasoning to support the idea the facts depend on what different people believe.

Thanks for arguing this so I don’t have to 🤣

I don’t have every for bullshit.

This issue is a pet peeve of mine. I know people mean well and are just arguing their beliefs, and I don't begrudge them of that, but there's no room for compromise, or entertaining different beliefs when it comes to matters of objective truth.

Point out the fallacious reasoning, my friend :p

I'm done with this conversation. I've said all there is to. You apparently not subscribe to the concept of objective truth, which is your prerogative. But I'm not going entertain it. Let's just say we agree to disagree on this subject.

But it's true: "facts" do depend on what you believe.

For example, you believe that a fact is immutable and cannot be proven wrong, whereas on this conversation many other people repeatedly told you that it depends on the context and the convictions of the people.

Even your temperature case was discredited. Who validate your observation of temperature, why should we believe you? Is the thermometer really working well, what are other thermometers recording?

So yes, you present a "fact" but doesn't really present a full picture and governments often cherry pick biased facts to convey their own interests.
