That argument is too easy. It's harder comprehend when you consider that, in order for information to be distorted, real information has to be obtained.
Which means, somewhere in the process of producing illusions, we are aware of the truth.
... Perhaps it would be somehow logical to say that we rely on our senses in the wrong way.

I think it's impossible to know the truth. But of course, this is very philisophical. We know when there is a pebble in our sho, then we see it, move it and feel relieved. But what was the pebble? And can you snatch it from my hand, grasshopper?
When it comes to understanding a whole country or culture, all we have is our experience, study and extrapolation. All that is clouded by opinion. That's why we're all arguing on this forun all the time. Some of us witness the same stuff and come to very different conclusions. I'm sure if I asked my wife about some of our conclusions she would laugh histerically. Then stick her finger in my eye. But was that a finger, or a candy bar? Crispetty, crunchetty Butterfinger.
