If absolute truth does not exist, then we may as well all quit this forum.

Technically no, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Münchhausen_trilemma There isn’t any fool-proof argument for, well anything, mathematics included, if you keep asking why the reasoning behind the explanation is valid (which IMO is a valid question to ask), everything will eventually fall back on either; circular reasoning, axiomatic reasoning, or an infinite regress. Even with very simple and strait forward things like mathematics, you have to rely on axioms that at some point you just have to accept as true. (For more info on the potential unverifiability of mathematics, read Gödel's incompleteness theorems.)
In reality, I think you can accept things as self evident though, and build off of those foundational self evident ideas.
