Ah, fuck it. If we can't even agree what 'truth' & 'reality' mean, we are screwed in regards to both.

-
We can't discuss truth or reality if you use those words to describe things which are true & real AND things which are not true and real.
-
How could I discuss how cats and dogs differ if you call both cats?
-
For me to discuss truth & reality with you, I'd have to agree they include false beliefs & errors. The concept I want to discuss can't exist
-
Or you'd have to agree that truth & reality are different from false beliefs & errors. The conflation you want to make can't be made.
-
Therefore, we have an impasse & if we tried to discuss truth & reality, we'd mean different things & conversation would be incoherent.

But a lot of philosophical discussion is about the meanings of words, and categorisation and suchlike. I think you're being unreasonable.
