The reality is that we can know absolute truths, at least enough to form a true meta-narrative, but we won't know all absolutes, at least not until we can evolve to super-intelligence, if even then.
When E. O. Wilson, the father of Neo-Darwinist sociobiology, explained the biological origin of social behavior the postmodernists became like scholastics arguing over how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. As long as we are alive every cell in our body demands survival and reproductive success. This natural activation can be blocked, subverted, or it can be unknown to us, but it can't legitimately be intellectually or instinctively denied. The biological origin of social behavior includes the development of philosophy and religion.
Someone (Nietzsche?) said that courage was probably more important than intelligence in finding the truth. The biological origin of social behavior has been culturally and politically taboo since World War Two and there has been a lack of courage among philosophers and professors to see or declare that real human nature is and has been genetically kin and ethnic centered, with group selection as the main unit of successful survival and reproduction, followed by individual selection. Existing realistic values come from the various social and cultural methods we try (including postmodernism) to biologically and genetically advance ourselves and our related ethnic group, locality, culture, and nation.
Whatever peace and harmony is possible between different and competing human groups can be best accomplished in an ethnopluralism of ethnostates, that is the political/cultural structure most in harmony with real human nature, which remains kin-centered, gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual, marriage-making, hierarchical, ethnocentric, even xenophobic among other conservative things, with group-selection as the primary unit of successful selection, followed by individual selection.
This affirms in general the populist nationalism now trying to rise in the corrupted West, which needs to eventually develop into an ethnopluralism of ethnostates or regions. Ethnostates could even be established legally in the United States with our constitutional separation of powers and states.
