    Technically truth is just the commonly accepted answer and not an objective fact of reality. It doesn’t have to be a fact, or even real. Just that the majority of people think it is.

      I would call that belief, while “truth” is anything that’s supported by facts.

        Bruh… It’s literally one of the dictionary definitions of the word “truth.”

      Sure but whatever definition you use, they cross it too far.
