I studied philosophy. Got multiple degrees. The conversations are so incredibly exhausting… not because they are sophomoric, but only because people rarely have a good faith discussion of them.
Is there Truth? Probably. Can we access it, maybe but we can never be sure. Does that mean Truth doesn’t exist? Sort of, but we can still build skyscrapers.
Truth is a concept. Practical knowledge is everywhere. Whether they correspond to each other is at the heart of philosophy: inductive empiricism vs deductive rationalism.

Perhaps there is truth, and it only looks like we can't find it because only some of us are magic?
