Our realities are constantly diverging, and never completely shared. And we •want• that! It’s important for people to bring different experiences, different ways of seeing and thinking.
One person understands climate science. Another person understands the subculture of Southern Iowa. A third person knows what it’s like to live as a Black person in this society — and so on, to infinity. All these perspectives matter, and nobody gets to hold all infinity of them at once.
Nobody gets to be in full possession of absolute truth.
