Knowing is putting in relationship with, IMHO. You know what a table is, by were it usually is placed, differences with a chair, differences with a cat, materials it can have, usage given by people. In summary, how it exists in the context of something else.
If we imagine a universe with only one thing (difficult because we would be there too, but bear with me), what could we know about that one thing? It would be the whole universe, all and nothing at the same time.
I would like to propose an alternative take on the same: we also are incapable of knowing. We are just putting in relationship one thing with others, in a similar way as ChatGPT, but on a much bigger scale. And that is fine.
We are still special: we have sensors (senses), we can move, feel pain, but from the point of view of knowledge we are still comparing things and putting them in relationship to one another.
