And your brain told you this? How can you trust it if it's claims are based on entertainment and survival, not on truth?I think that is all the higher brain is. It uses sensory input to develop itself into a "surviving" entity. After survival it needs something to entertain it so it develops a "drama".
I am assuming that by saying yes you have a third option. For you cannot ascent to both for they are mutually exclusive in and of themselves.

They are mutually exclusive explicitly. However, if one imports another aspect, i.e., representationalism or idealism, then they become modes of understanding.They most certainly are not. Reconciling Rationalism and Empiricism is hardly a novel concept.
Truth can be trusted, but models of knowledge, i.e. epistemic theories that promote an inner and outer world of ontology, cannot be trusted.
Nothing can be trusted. I'm merely guessing.
Well that question for one...Understanding ? What is it that need to be "understood ". ( weird word when ya think about it )

One needn't recognize truth only demonstrate it.
Not at all. Kant demonstrated that Hume's views on causality, ethics, etc., ignored the possibility that they stem from categories of the mind that are static and fixed.No, they aren't. Kant took care of this for you over 200 years ago. Try to keep up.
By being wrong.How is it possible to NOT demonstrate the Truth ?
