Can tell it's religious hand wringing from the first 10 seconds. Only people defending indefensible positions resort to rhetoric like the opening. Lot of words to say so little. People are only able to model reality. Not know it. That doesn't remove truth but it forces you to admit you are always wrong in some way. Greater nuance is always there and digs closer to what you'd call "truth". The closer the model conforms to reality the more it could be called true.

People that speak like you are against truth. Sure most philosophers now are wrong. So were the ones you exalt to divine knowledge. But unless we all stay chained to them, you'll assert truth is gone because you can no longer force us all to say you're right. You're not. Your religion is false like all of them. You'd only be happy when we submit and force ourselves to join in your narrative, because the charade requires everyone to participate for it to function properly. I find most "intellectuals" lacking, but the pseudo intellectuals in the religious sphere are downright jokes. You think us exploring for ourselves and not towing the church's is "The destruction of truth itself". And when you speak of it you all just string word salad together and never get to a point. You have no substance so you keep it lose and dance around a topic and pretend you dove into it. Hours of talking and you say nothing. I can pick you people out so fast, you all speak the same. It's so lacking in substance. I wish I could show you for a moment. I get it. I thought like that. But I can hold different views. The religious can't. You can't try on other hats, it causes internal pain to even entertain the thought your authorities could be wrong.

Demanding the world conform in its entirety to your esoteric view of things is the furthest thing from defending the truth that could ever be. Even if people are wrong today, we may stumble closer to understanding things as they are. Your foolishness would chain us in place. I wish you could hear yourself. 20 minutes without even saying what you mean by truth. I know cause I dealt with this stupid shit my whole life, but seriously make a real point. Just conservative grievance and the death throws of religious bullshit forcing us to stay in line. Think all you want as long as you don't dare contradict the church. THEY SPEAK FOR GOD. what a sham. utterly disgusting
