ALex,
You are not very good at this.
1. As far as we know, all knowledge is the result of experience. And I don’t know of anyone who undersetands the neuroscience in this matter better than I do.
2. Metaphysical presumptions are only truth if they are consistent and correspondent with physical truths.
3. Otherwise they are not truths they are biases or preferences.
4. We discover gradual improvements of our knowledge of pramatic truth toward ideal truth by adversarial competition (observation, listening, discussion, debate, argument, suit, and trial and error) – not by reason alone, or by individual presumption or supernatural cause. But by observation of success and failure.

Instead, what you mean is that we can construct narratives and try to live inside those narratives to compensate for our lack of knowledge (ignoranc) and ability (competency) and mindfulness (ability to suppress neuroticism) as populations increase, the division of knowledge and labor increases, and we are possessed of less and less knowledge of the world around us, less agency in it, greater dependence upon it, and greater alienation from one another within it – stoking neuroticism that generates demand for such comforting (theraputic) narratives.
