Definitely agree with Gross. It's why the loss of species, destruction of our environment, etc--replaced with mechanisms that are a reflection of ourselves--is all so disturbing. We are depriving ourselves of the potential to learn from the unique diverse world around us.

Certainly, the apparent fact that we can only know our own perceptions (images of observations) severely limits what we can know about the larger universe that may contain our perceptions. It would be foolish to believe that you know the ultimate reality; we already know that it is impossible to know since we can only ever access perceptions of the projections of "reality". Either all that exists is our perceptions, or we can never know the ultimate reality.
