[Krimel] One of the things that sets humans apart from other species is our ability to take on other points of view. We intentionally alter our own illusions if you will. This too is a developmental phenomenon. It begins at about nine months when infants begin to share attention with their caregivers. They look at what is being pointed at and they look at what another person looks at. This ability matures as children grow in a regular pattern that develops in similar fashion across dissimilar cultures. (Suggesting that it has a strong biological basis)
It is this ability to see things from multiple points of view that makes us human. Any understanding any of us has of anything will be in large measure a personal, subjective understanding, unique to us. To the extent that our understanding corresponds to the "object" in question or coincides with the understanding of others... Well that's gravy. That's what makes us "sane".
