There's nothing wrong with drawing out ideas that are meaningful to humans from narratives, tropes, characters. I'm a lit student.

Yes, exactly. This is my problem with epistemic relativists. Things are either true or they're not & they way to discover this is evidence.

I think it's semantics whether u want to call it truth but it does seem like an important phenomenon

It's not semantics. Epistemology matters. Facts matter. Science & evidence matter. They're how we progressed in the modern period.

PoMo & Peterson approaches which gloss over this & go into stories & subjective beliefs as the source of wisdom & knowledge are post-truth.
