It's only a contradiction when it's reduced to absurdity. The 'realistic' truth, is that 'truth' exists because we demonstrate it everyday. We use electricity, and have scientific laws with great predictive capabilities. humans bodies don't perceive experiences that differently. We are, after all, all the same species.I may have what i think is truth, you may have what you think is truth, everyone on this planet may have their own subjective version of their own truth...
But objective truth, 100% undeniable, 100% correct, 100% without a single doubt truth, does not exist. Which brings us back to the contradiction. That "the truth is, there is no truth".
You can have your truth, we can have our own truth, but just because we make something our truth, does not make it "the" truth. It merely makes it what we THINK the truth is...
And for the most part, what we THINK the truth is... isn't really the truth, just part of it.
Now, abstractly; humans might not be able to conceptualize 'the truth' about something, but that doesn't mean the truth is non-existent. 'Things', IMO, have a finite number of properties; therefore if everything could be known about those properties it could at least be argued you know 'the truth' about that object. The objective truth. The problem I see is that you'd have to know everything about that object instantaneously, and even after an immeasurably small amount of time passed the properties of the 'thing' would have changed, as the locations of atoms, etc. in the object would have moved, creating new (location based) properties.
