I do not believe in the existence of objective reality nor do I think that "facts" have any meaning outside of the human realm, but that does not mean that we cannot possibly differentiate between the tendencies of different groups of humans at different times.
There is a philosophical understanding of the world and there is a functional understanding. I can never quite be sure that the universe exists outside of my own mind but that notion has very little impact on my day to day life. Humans may create their own meanings and goals but that does not automatically render their ideas invalid within the scope of the human realm. In the same vein, there is a relative level of "truth" in the human realm that can be revealed by the actions and details of past occurences.
