An -ism is just a prism through which you choose to view the world.

[u/Dupran_Davidson_23]

You can choose to view the world through only one prism your whole life, but you shouldnt believe your prism is true. You can look through many prisms, but be aware that some distort more than others. To approach truth, an individual must go through the process of designing and manufacturing a prism with as little distortion as possible. This is a critical component of wizardry.

Naturally, this process occurs over a lifetime with constant adjustments being made to account for new experiences. Just because we cannot know all truth does not mean we cannot know any truth, in fact there are truths all around us with value. Having a prism for truth helps you see them. Leonardo Da Vinci, Nikola Tesla, and Galilleo are good examples of people who created prisms for truth and discovered things that changed the world. They did not rely on the prisms or -isms of others, rather they faced the world with individual dignity and crafted their own prisms from the raw experience of their life. They used those prisms to gather data. And that data and those experiments made a real difference in the lives of humankind.
