For example, it’s ridiculous to consider the question of the existence of climate change as a topic of debate. Instead, it’s a scientific fact that human-caused climate change is having an impact on our world. To seriously consider points of view that ignore facts (outside of perhaps artistic merit) is not a productive use of our limited time.
I do think there is some flexibility in the interpretation of facts, but to discard objective truth entirely is to me a rejection of the scientific method, and that does not lead to a desirable future for humans.

That’s the game, always will be - objective truth exists, but rarely can we be sure we have it. It’s wrong to presume so, but the bigger issue is in giving up the chase.

Life is movement. We die when we stop moving.
I feel this is true with humans taken together too. It’s not about being absolutely correct. It’s about believing we can learn.
