Frank, you have spent a great deal of your life being subjective. Or should I say, strongly opinionated?

WTF??
I consider 'strongly opinionated' to be a compliment.

 As opposed to "All truth is subjective. All opinions are valid. Nothing can be known. Ommmmmm....."   ;-)
 

You continually consistently and annoyingly misstate that.
To observe that personal opinions are, in fact, personal is not to say that nothing is true.
But policy preferences from agreed undisputed facts are areas for discussion and persuasion (or, in extremis, coercion by those who could not prevail in argument).
To agree that the speed of light is constant or that E=R/I or whatever has no bearing on policy preferences, which are not truths, have no single answer and are inherently personal.
Oh, and there can never be a lack of such, as long as we remain human.  Or as noted here recently, the dialectic is eternal and cannot, by its nature, be permanently resolved.
