No, Nietzsche was wrong. There ARE facts. Often we don't know what they are, but the facts exist nonetheless. If facts don't exist, then nothing exists.

As I said earlier, one can posit with reasonable certainty that there are "things" that have an existence and that they exist independently of our perceptions of them. However, "fact" is itself a concept, a mental construct, that is used to describe certain categories of experience or intellectual operations. Also, look at your last sentence for a good joke.
