@starkatt Regarding sentient beings: With some limited exceptions for empirically demonstrable fact, anything anyone has ever "known" is a context sensitive and heavily subjective narrative.
Every communication of a narrative spawns a flurry of new narratives in the minds of all who receive that communication.
The likelihood that any two individuals share a single identical narrative is so close to impossible that we might as well call it that.
@starkatt Followup on that point: I don't believe most folks are actively aware of how lossy human communication is. Most assume others interpret their communicated narrative in the same ways they understand it, and almost no one spends time verifying the integrity of their communication, which, in my opinion, is at the root cause of every argument and dispute up to and including our current political climate. ^^;
