Yes, saying 'we don't know everything' is not saying 'we don't know
anything'. Saying 'we've been wrong about what we believed was true before'
is not saying, therefore don't believe anything.

Good analogy: To submerge yourself in temporal truth is how we fully
experience life. But we CAN step back from experiencing reality directly
and intellectualize that underneath it all, what is really going on is just
patterns of value going about their pattern (MoQ) or electrons flowing
around in inorganic constructs called organisms (SOM). In fact both of
these are good ways to endure the pain of bamboo under the fingernails, or
delay orgasm during sex. But don't delay too long, you want to step back
into reality at some point to live it, or it will be too late)
(Was it here that someone posted a verse about how trying to climb out of
the water is the sure way to drown, and the way to swim is emerse yourself?
That was a good analogy. If I didn't read that here, I wonder where I read
it? hmmm..)

I've never had bamboo under the fingernails, so I couldn't really say...
