That’s the great thing about nostr. It is what people are doing with it, so it can be anything. News, memes, philosophy….
I see it a bit critical to say sth is a fact until someone proofs it’s not. That would mean the definition of a fact is just the best assumption we have.
But I guess most people understand a fact as something that is 100% true.
So this could cause a lot of misunderstanding.
Sure this is just a discussion about naming/definition. Anyhow I am avoiding the word fact in general.
I would say we can‘t find THE truth (e.g. we could still live in a simulation) but we can find facts according to specific assumptions.
And some assumptions are so deep connected to our society that we don‘t even mention these assumptions.
That’s why in sience it is common to use sayings like „according to einsteins theory of relativitiy“
