Do You Know an Argument Against Nihilism?

Then by that line of reasoning your truth isn’t actual “truth” which goes for all other “truths.” If red is red, then it is red, not blue, not pink not yellow. If red is blue, pink and yellow then it is not red. It is something else, so call it something else, but don’t call it red.

I believe what you are defining is called ontological clarity. They are truth statements about the definition of the word, but not the nature of the real world.

Having a common lexicon is key to establishing truth between two parties.

You ignore my point of using color. If you’re talking about real world, then the colors of red, blue and yellow are practically - within their make up and structure - the same in every place on earth. They may have different names in other countries, but one does not mistake the color of yellow for blue or blue for red. If one has faulty eyes then one may not be able to recognize them.
