I find it difficult to imagine teaching when one believes there is nothing to important to learn.

We have several thousand years of recorded and accumulated experience and observations of the physical world around us and the interactions among humans. We have several thousand years of watching and recording causes and effects, and of drawing conclusions based on these observations. Do you think that because these observations do not constitute "objective truth", they are not worth learning?

Your "truths", in honesty, are as subjective as any others. The difference between you and X is that instead of admitting that your subjective truths are what they are, you have declared them objective, because you find it convenient to do so. Of course, you want to pass these "truths" on to others, and you want them to be introduced as objective truth, rather than as a lesson learned through experience. If that's not indoctrination, I don't know what is.
