We have to be humble, not because humility is a moral virtue that we need to signal but because humility represents an open-minded recognition of our actual condition and situation. We do not know, and it is quite likely that we cannot know, not because we do not yet have enough information but because our dualistic way of cutting up the world into “belief” and “reason,” into “subjects” and “objects,” is simply false; that is, these dualistic divisions do not correspond to what is actually so.
