We can never be more than 50 percent right. And that's a liberal estimate.
With today's world of perception equalling reality, there are always at least two perceptions, and therefore we can only be 50 percent truly right at most.
If we seek to understand as many perspectives on a situation as we can, we are able to make a more educated guess as to what truly is right but we can never be positive.
Just because we think we know a situation from multiple perspectives, doesn't mean that we do. There could be only two perspectives or an infinite number.
No matter what, we're always having to go with our best guess as to what is right. And more often than not, we're wrong.
That's terrifying.
Note to self: this causes communications problems, always be cautious.
