Do not we live in a bubble .. Illusion of knowledge?

We probably shouldn't, lol.  At least not unreservedly (and we really don't, anyway..most of us at least understand the concept of our mind playing tricks on us - we know it's a thing).  

The brain is a tool for finding lunch, not truth.  I regard the latter as a happy (or tragic) coincidence.

This means that the only truth we can trust is what our stomachs say  Hungry
