I believe that we can know things. I just don’t believe we can know things objectively. We need a better standard for knowledge than objectivity, because objectivity is worthless.
That’s fair. But the idea of approaching the universe from a standpoint of not being able to truly “know” is kind of the basis of all science isn’t it? We can have evidence of something, maybe even enough evidence to make reliable, repeatable predictions in the context of our infinitely short existences, but it will forever and always be transient knowledge. Nothing in the universe is static and unchanging forever.
“I don’t know” is quite different than “no one can ever know anything.”
