The Importance of Perception

You can't perceive reality accurately because you don't know everything. So and you're full of biases and you're ignorant as hell. The best you can do is perceive small bits of reality well enough so that you can more or less get what you need in a relatively short period of time without screwing yourself up too badly over the medium to long term. That's pretty much what you've got. And that doesn't mean truth is impossible. Just means that it's very, very complicated to decide what truth is. Because the question is what is truth for someone whose knowledge is limited?
