Does an electron have knowledge? *IF* they did, then you might have an argument for knowledge being objective. However, they do not (and there is no reason to suppose they do, or do you have one?), therefore knowledge cannot be absolute (I am assuming you mean "objectively exists"?).
Of course... even *IF* they did have knowledge... all you would have done is established the possibility of "inter-subjective" knowledge.

I call whatever is thinking "you", wether that be a human brain or some flea in an alternate universe.Quote:How do you know that it's knowable?As I know anything. I know 1 + 1 = 2. How is that any more or less knowable than myself? I feel like I am constantly saying that "Knowing dictates not truth". Maybe I should sig it.
Quote:I didn't say it though (I think (I think I think I...)).
Didn't have to. You implied it, wether intentionally or not.
Yes, you do think. Surely there is no need to repeat it 3 times?
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
