Very true, but it's an informed and curated loss. Necessarily so, because our couple kilograms lump of nerve tissue is completely unequal to the task of losslessly comprehending all of its own experiences, to say nothing of those of others, and infinitesimally so in comparison to the universe as a whole. We take points and interpolate a silhouette of reality from them.
I am strongly on board with the notion that everything that we call knowledge or the human experience is all a lossy compression algorithm, a predatory consciousness imagining itself consuming the solid reality on which it presently floats an existence as a massless, insubstantial ghost.
