No such thing because we experience reality differently (or only through our 5 senses) and cannot determine 'actual truth'?
That's the most interesting part of the question for me - our own inescapable biases.
- neumann_alfred 14y agoTo me it seems inherently impossible to "see" a system objectively when you're part of it, as that would seem to create a paradox. I may be wrong but it sounds great IMHO. However, I do think there is a reality that is not dependant on interpretation or observation to exist; I just can't experience it without filter. But there is something there, and it's consistent, I can communicate about it with others etc... that's imperfect, it's often silly, but that's fine; I cannot dismiss my small, subjective truth just because it's not as good as some kind of objective knowledge of reality that doesn't even exist, and probably can't exist (I mean that knowledge of reality, not reality itself). Truth is the thing we must never cease reaching towards, even though we will never reach it, or even come closer to it. Just because it's there :)
