The modern world has gone wrong with its construal of rationality as the logical manipulation of statements. Rationality is not the only form of knowing.
"We’ve reduced our understanding of what knowing is to merely the propositional level, and we’ve left out the participatory. We’ve left out all the non-propositional aspects."
The rituals, our sensations, intuitions, our insights, the physical activities and so are representing truth and play a key part in creating meaning. It's why Vervaeke thinks the Zen masters have a more complete epistemological framework than the best Western scientists.
