> 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.

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.
