Been in an argument today: Is truth subjective or objective?
I learned: Everybody has a subjective truth, their beliefs. Objective truth is derived through the scientific method, regardless of beliefs.
Even that I wouldn't say is objective truth, through the scientific method we model reality, we can't accurately describe it. So objective truth is unattainable.
Everything is fluid so both are correct

That's way too big a question for social media format but I'll give a short answer. Truth transcends the silly notion of object/subject duality that was brought into life by Aristotle. This "false" duality is only one tool of many to look at the world. Truth is neither in the object or the subject, it is transjective. Meaning it's neither of them, or the relationship between the two. First of all, we can only describe something from a human perspective, and though we seem pretty advanced to ourselves, we may be oblivious to many higher forms of consciousness. And we can only give approximate descriptions with our flawed form of communication which is language, which in itself means that whatever we say is already NOT an absolute truth. Maths is a lower tier truth, for it is verifiable. But it's still a man-made concept, a tool to describe and navigate the world. But it still isn't necessarily "real". This only poses more questions. TLDR Subject/object duality is a flawed, low tier description of reality.
Cool but unattainable
Truth is a claim about the relationship between some statement that describes objective reality and objective reality itself. It says that a statement is true if it correctly reflects objective reality. But what does that mean exactly? Can any statement correctly reflect objective reality, or are statements too simplistic and poor to do so? In many cases, statements have a VERY hard time being absolutely true. You might think the sky is blue, but maybe not to a mantis shrimp. It would be more useful to argue about whether there is a single objective reality, about which statements can reflect to some degree and be verified against to some degree.
1) What
😂😂
Which of the (at least) five kinds of truth are you talking about? Some are subjective, some objective.
Words are themselves subjective. Especially English words.
Subjective.
