I like your epistemic humility phrase there. In my opinion it demonstrates that we operate with very little bits of the truth, while at the same time, operating fully from it by acknowledging that we don't know what we don't know.

Most of your essay makes sense to me, in that there is a larger reality differentiated from anyone's particular perception of it. To say "truth is relative" strikes me as reckless in the face of this, however.

There's different forms of truth in this sense then, isn't there? The truth of one person seeing at point 1a is likely different from the truth of the person observing from point 1b. They may share an objective truth, yet their personal truths are strictly based on where they are, in relation to the point of observation and the context from which they filter their own experience.

This can get very heady very fast. I think that it really does come down to the question, how do you define truth?"

I don't agree or disagree with you here @fireawaymarmot. I am mostly curious as to which truth is truth for you...

Thanks for reading and sharing this very intriguing perspective!
