I just wanted to make one thing absolutely clear—when I talk about “truth as a construct” I don’t mean it in the pseduo-philosophical manner (“but you aren’t objective”) that it is used in post-modern philosophy.
Thanks to those who explained why they disagreed with this article!
This post gives me the standard impression of “a little learning is a dangerous thing”. You learned enough to feel that you can contribute, not realizing that you are nowhere near the necessary level.
Sorry, I removed it after I saw Manfred’s and Azathoth’s replies (and before I saw your reply) because people were explaining why they disagreed with the post or where I made mistakes, so there didn’t seem to be any need for it.

Why do you say that? And what knowledge would one need to have to be at the necessary level?
Downvoted with extreme prejudice for not explaining what the specific problem with the post is.
That’ll teach me to reply to “please explain your downvotes” (now edited out) comments.

What I meant was “give better explanations” rather than “give up on giving explanations”, but it’s entirely possible I was too harsh.
