  • Wouldn’t you have to say that there is an objective reality that we’re just simply encoding in our understanding, and that we’re also part of this reality so we can never truly be outside of it and act as “objective” observers? Epistemologically, I agree with the Socratic position (“transcendental"knowledge” is unreachable) and with Descartes (senses can “lie”), but that doesn’t mean, ofc, that we cannot have working, very accurate mental models of reality.
