i think we can't use our perceptions to verify the accuracy of our perception. i don't think we can know truth, or really even if there is reality as recongised on a daily basis. but for practical purposes its nice to say that table there. instead of that table that may or may not be there. but the idea its not there is a fun idea to think about. no?

Precisely. This is the key focus of subjectionism and "relativism."

A true objective view does not exist as we know it.

Nice summation shadow.
