>that is not the same as asserting that knowledge is unknowable.< And that is a thing that I did not do. You need to read what was posted ... not what you construed from it. Read back with some attentiveness, if you care. If you don't care, then say so.

One makes assumptions- of what one knows BY ONE'S SENSES and ONE'S IDIOSYNCRATIC BRAIN- and if one has more than a teeny tiny brain one begins to realize that the world consists of an infinite series of varied perceptions. One can KNOW that one doesn't KNOW how other people perceive the world - if one is not an egomaniac. But that isn't the same thing as knowing the underlying nature of reality. It is only appreciating that the known is not really known- maybe. Perception is one element of reality- and reality itself (if we are seeing reality itself) is composed of different layers of reality- Einstein reality, subatomic physics reality, Newtonian reality- and these conflict- see the single photon dual slit experiments contradicting Newtonian reality. I understand you do not understand a word I am saying. I have a bit of compassion for you- it must be hard to grasp for solidity in a reality that appears to be fluidic. That's probably why you seem so puppet like and humorless. I hope life brings you everything you want, but make sure you are looking for the right things for the right reasons.
