I'm Turkish, you see. I don't mind being a child or a protégé but I'm always in it for myself. Only Anglos still love chivalry. We invented it and we were the first to move on.

He's sort of right though. Things get revised all the time. Today's fact is tomorrow's inaccuracy.

He denies the scientific method though. He says that we shouldn't even attempt to ascertain facts. Which is a religious position, but his psyche can't come up with a good prophet yet. perhaps if he wasn't writing poems for foot fetishists.

Right, but that's the fallacy of an adult saying "When I was little, I believed in Father Christmas, then when I got older, I realised he doesn't exist. So we can't know anything for sure, and maybe the earth is flat after all."

And he's not even operating on that level. He had a science teacher with bad breath or something and then failed his GCSE, so all science is fake, QED. It's like a fat, asthmatic kid airily declaring that all sports are for meatheaded idiots and losers.
