the knower and the know cannot be separated

doing a little post-positivist theories in my nationalism class

Karl Popper and squishy knowledge.

He says every branch of knowledge requires a degree of faith. Knowledge changes your world view, your reality. Everyone has different experiences and connections that mix with said knowledge to shade reality. Therefore, everyone's reality is different. Everything is relative.

What do you think?

Everything is subjective. I think I have a few ideas about it. Just can't really get it organized into a few words.

you never could ting you adhd child.

what if all the colors in the world were relative. My black is your orange. His aqua is her maroon. And when we describe hues of color it is entirely relative and perfectly subjective to the person. No one could ever know.
