Okay, maybe tomorrow I can read the whole thread.

If human experience is not reliable, then its value is very limited. In which case, why is one opinion (say, for instance, yours) of any more value than anyone elses? Seems there is no purpose in even discussing truth, then, since all opinion is based (I guess according to you) on unreliable human experience. Every person creates his own reality and all that good stuff.

Yes it is. That's why we don't go by hearsay, but look for as much objective evidence as possible. Subjectivity is simply not very reliable. Two people can watch one and the same movie in the same circumstances and one may find it true and wonderful and the other false and horrible.
