I don’t know what “objectively true” means. How can I assign meaning to this notion?
I assign meaning to the notion of “truth” in various ways, depending on the context. As an example, when I’m discussing the weather with another person, I have a way to confirm or disconfirm statements about the weather. It’s raining if water falls from the sky in small droplets. In our realm at present, this is a conventional way of dealing with truth: I “check” it using evidence from (my) sense perceptions. But it is no less subjective and volitional than any other ways of dealing with the notion of truth.
