I asked what is truth to you, and you regurgitate something from Wikipedia with no synthesis of your own. OK, now why don't you copy and paste the definitions for "fact" and "reality", and make sure they don't contain any synonyms for "true" or "real". We can keep iterating from there until one of us passes out from sheer boredom.

Nonsense. You could, for instance, engage in showing me just how non-rigorous my statements are. You can start by proving that every single person who has ever seen Goodfellas came away from it with zero delta in their understanding of the Mafia or inspiration to learn about it. Including me. And then prove to me whether their understanding was "true" or not.
And then prove to me that I didn't think of new ways to deal with the problems I had between myself and some friends as I was reading Proust. And/or that I would've thought of those things if I never read Proust.
And then prove to me that science fiction has never inspired any scientist or mathematician in the history of science fiction.
And that there has never been a person that looked at Dali's melting clocks and wondered if time is more complicated than what they currently thought.
