I am curious about the way that we get information and use it. Some ways are considered so much more "truthy" than others. For example, I am able to speak with a neurologist and get some information from her about my son's brain if she has scanned it with a EEG. However, the same neurologist may not know about speech and language development in a practical sense, and so she may not know how to best support language development. When did we (Westerners) become so specialized? The person who believes in animism sees the same person in an entirely different light.
My sense is that even though we can study and know, there are no absolute truths just as there are infinite realities. Knowing does not make your truth equally compelling. It is also who you are, in relationship and how you present your knowledge. How your truth resonates in what contexts is worth thinking about.
