Epistemology thread
What actually can be known?
How can knowledge be obtained?
What even is knowledge?
My goal is to understand everything that can be understood, to get the best possible grasp of reality. By this I don't mean autistically memorizing facts and numbers. I'm striving for explanatory knowledge. I'm currently studying on my own mathematics, formall logic, physics, theoretical computer science and philosophy. But the more I learn, the more I get the feeling that there will always be some kind of knowledge that cannot be covered by those fields. Some vague intuitive kind of feeling that there is some kind of knowledge which cannot be formalized. I feel like there is something more to reality. Perhaps some immaterial, spiritual component. I'm not religious, so I don't know how to deal with this.
Thoughts?

The only way to know reality is to experience it. The rest is just description of the stage machinery

This is dumb you experience reality everyday the second you wake up

I don't think anything can be truly known. The best you can hope for are close approximations of knowledge, but these are always going to be flawed.
Flawed tools will only ever produce a flawed result.

as far as i can tell knowledge can only be tautological or empirical (if vaguely)
