As soon as someone makes it clear they see confusion as a virtue, (everything is fluid & ambiguous & that's great!) stop trying to clarify.

"We can't know anything" is accurate but ignores the practicality that we need axioms of knowledge & objective reality to communicate at all

Yes, I point this out. We can acknowledge that but then work within what we perceive to develop medicine & technology etc.
