 But trueth can easily be something objective but outside of our grasp, so all we are left with are our subjective approximations (my truth, your, etc..).

I think that is a good way forward as long as we remember that nobody knows the absolute truth, so we can take bits and pieces of trueth insode all perspectives.


I.E. here the truth is the 3D object, but in a 2D screen we need different POVs to get a grasp in the whole thing.

Also I think this way of looking at things make us a bit more humble an less prone to believe in grandiose schemes like central planning or that crap. A.K.A. the fatal conceit
