But the level that we believe we know all about, is no more than an illusion, and we all live in that illusion because we all have the same senses. We all agree on what a colour is, what a sound is and on and on, but again its only one small level. As it is said, "if a tree falls and there is no one there, does it make a sound ?", well there is vibration, but no sound, there needs to be a hearing apparatus to convert the vibration into what we call sound, and this goes for everything else.
Thats an answer to a question I didn't asked. I asked, how do you know that someone cannot completely comprehend someone else idea?
Also, your answer is wrong. Not everything is obtained from our senses. For example, mathematical truths are not experienced through our senses. Mathematical truths are arrived through deduction.
Its doesn't matter, we still have to have our senses to even understand it, it all works well in our so called life, other levels of life it probably means nothing.
We can know what others believe, but we will never fully know, your mind is yours, not mine. so we can never truly know what the other thinks because we can only know our own mind, and in truth we don't even truly know that. Who is the one knowing, where is he, if you say it me, then who are you. You see we are just an organism that has been conditioned and programmed, and nothing else. So are we the conditioning and programming, you see there is no one, there's a body here typing away, but its no me.
