I do not understand the point of the essay http://yudkowsky.net/rational/the-simple-truth/ . The preface says that it "is meant to restore a naive view of truth", but all I see is strawmanning everything Eliezer dislikes. What is that "naive view of truth"?

The naive view is that "'true' is true."

Trying to parse... There is some universal, objective and intuitive concept that is labeled as "true"?
