You should give him a break, it was 2000 years ago and the just of the idea is the base of our scientific knowledge. We assume that whatever state we perceive things in, there’s a higher unchanging law that governs them. A can come up with experiments to calculate G or the reduced plank constant because I assume they don’t change. I can create cars and planes and medicine because I assume the laws governing their function don’t change. It’s been a good assumption so far. I’d guess that 80% of what is good in this world comes from our search for “truth”, a lot of what is bad comes from straying from that path or truth’s obfuscation.
Veritas is the human motto and it originates in Plato’s ideas
