No, that is too easy, Bhup.
We do not differ in perspective.
I claim that I am standing on terra firma and declare your position as hanging in the air.
Therefore, you should defend your position as being grounded in reality, or you should give up on your lofty position.

This is the problem with the human mind: We can envision a spot of not-knowing for certain, and we can then incorporate it in the entire model we hold inside our heads about what we know.
Yet that is a fallacy. Once we recognize that we are holding a spot of not-knowing inside our heads along with what we know, then we have to place it in its appropriate spot, and look at just what we do know as the big picture. Then we can see that (sometimes) the spot of not-knowing causes us to not know, in effect a self-fulfilling prophecy we can’t get rid of unless we become aware.
We don’t have to eliminate the spot of not-knowing itself, but we have to remove it from the list of what we think to know. It must be removed and put in its appropriate spot.

I use examples, analogies to make the point clear.
If we take the word God, for instance, then we have a structure to deal with. I must point to a negative to declare a truth about God:
God is not a Cyclops.
Had God been a Cyclops, then we could not have been created in God's image.
Therefore, anyone who unifies everything in the concept God is worshipping a false god. At God's fundamental level (whatever that is otherwise), we have to recognize that God holds two fundamental positions that are not the same. God has two visions, so to speak, and together we have the result we live in.
A weak person would tell me off, saying that we can disagree on God godself. A strong person would recognize that in the concept God we have to accept that God is not a Cyclops. The false god has to be thrown away.
Odysseus was once captured by a Cyclops, and the path to freedom was successful because of two important aspects:
1. Odysseus told the Cyclops that his name was Nobody, which helped stave off the other Cyclopses at the crucial moment of escape later on, and
2. Odysseus punctured the single eye of the Cyclops, blinding him.
That is what I am asking of you, Bhup, though you do not need to call yourself Nobody of course. Through our communications I can tell you are an intelligent real person I enjoy communicating with. But if you need it to protect you from the other Cyclopses, then please do.
I dare you, and I hope you take the challenge. You need to puncture that Cyclops’ eye. Good luck with your escape.
